Adonai S'fosai Tiftach — "Hashem, Open My Lips" · Opening: · "Hashem, open my lips" · [Psalms 51:17] · Likutay Moharan Part I, Toirah 32

Through the dancing at a wedding the harsh judgments [ dinim ] are sweetened. For the heart is the aspect of Binah — as it is written: " Binah liba " [understanding is the heart] [Tikunim, P'sach Eliyahu ]. And through the joy of the heart one dances — in the aspect of: "and Yaakov lifted his feet" [Genesis 29:1] — and Rashi explains: "his heart lifted his feet." And the feet are the aspect of Netzach and Hod . And when one dances with one's feet from the joy of one's heart — one must have the intention to draw down the light of the heart — that is, the five thousands of EHYEH of Binah — to the bride [ kallah ] (to sweeten the judgments within her). For she is called before the union — na'ar [youth, without the final heh ] [holy Zohar, Part II, 38a] — in the aspect of 320 judgments [ shin-kaf dinim ] — the numerical value of na'ar — which equals five times din [judgment]. And through drawing down the light of the heart — she becomes na'arah with a heh — and becomes five times Adonai . And this is the aspect of: "Adonai, open my lips" [Psalms 51:17] — for through the lips which are Netzach and Hod — the aspect of the above-mentioned feet — the bride is opened and sweetened — so she is called na'arah — ready for union — becoming the aspect of Adonai as above. 📜 Translator's Summary — Toirah 32 [from the Translator] Central theme: Dancing at a wedding with a joyful heart draws the light of Binah downward — sweetening the judgments within the bride and enabling the divine union. The verse "Adonai, open my lips" is decoded: the lips ( Netzach and Hod ) are feet in the inner structure — their motion through dance opens and rectifies the Shechinah . The transformation of na'ar to na'arah (§1): The Shechinah before rectification is na'ar — without the final heh — numerically 320, equal to five times din . The addition of the heh through the drawing down of the heart's light transforms her to na'arah — five times Adonai — ready for the divine union. This single-section Toirah is a concentrated jewel of Kabbalistic teaching.
