Quote of the Month

Everything which will come into existence or which has been created is arranged and written in the Sefirot, as it is said ‘Your eyes saw my unformed limbs, they were all recorded in Your book’ (Psalm 139:16), and ‘erase me from the record which You have written’ (Exodus 32:32). In the Sefirot, the entire past and future and present is written and recorded [...]. And everything that humans do below, as well as what they did and will do, everything is written there as it is said ‘a scroll of remembrance has been written at His behest concerning those who revere the Lord and esteem His name’ (Malachi 3:16).And this applies to the good deed, because the evil deed descends immediately and avenges either in this world or in gehenom. For there is no evil that has no limit, […]. The good, however, exists permanently and it will not be erased from generation to generation, infinitely, as it is said ‘extending kindness to the thousandth generation’ (Exodus 34:7).
