Rabash / With a Shofar You Will Renew

885. With a Shofar You Will Renew

Who forces the Creator so He cannot sit on the throne of mercy without blowing the Shofar [a festive horn], and precisely by blowing the Shofar He can sit on the throne of mercy?

The purpose of creation is to do good to His creations. In order not to have the bread of shame, there must be the matter of choice. After the choice, one is rewarded with the revelation.

The matter of the Tzimtzum [restriction] is in order to have room for choice.

The matter of devotion is because he has nothing to give to the Creator but his soul, and then he is worthy of receiving all the pleasures, since his only aim will be to bestow because he wants to annul himself before the Creator.

There is a debate above if he is already permitted to be given the pleasure. A person is given corporeal pleasures so he can exist. But he was not given spiritual pleasures, and this is called “the quality of judgment.” That is, this Tzimtzum is called “judgment.” At that time, it is called a “good day.”

Man has two forces: 1) to bestow, meaning mercy, 2) to receive, which is called “judgment.”

“This today, the beginning of Your works.” The Creator wants to impart the revelation. There is a quality of judgment there, whether it is permitted to receive the revelation. It is called a “good day” because at that time the revelation illuminates. This is done by the Creator sitting on a throne, meaning revealing Himself to the lower ones. In order for one to be able to receive the revelation at that time, which is called “judgment” and “the quality of reception,” he must evoke the quality of bestowal, called “merciful.”

The Creator sits on a throne of judgment, meaning reveals Himself to the lower ones.

He is merciful, meaning that one must engage in the matter of bestowal, namely “When will I achieve the deeds of my fathers,” meaning sacrifice himself to the Creator, which is completely to bestow.

Concerning having to be rewarded, the order of the work is that Malchut will accept the burden of the kingdom of heaven, memories, and Shofarot [pl. of Shofar], meaning that man will give the good Kli, as it is written, “My heart overflows with a good thing,” “He who has a good eye shall be blessed.” With what? With a Shofar, as it is written in the Midrash, “With a Shofar you will renew your deeds,” meaning with a Shofar. A throne of judgment means it is narrow and he cannot receive, while the quality of mercy is called “broadening.”
