And there is no day that does not contain curses because the blessings that were meant to come each day are now withheld and become curses instead. He (the disciple) asked him: &ldquo;If so when it is written &lsquo;Oy (&#1488;&#1493;&#1465;&#1497;)&rsquo; or &lsquo;Hovoy (&#1492;&#1493;&#1465;&#1497;),&rsquo; and not simply &lsquo;Vay (&#1493;&#1460;&#1497;),&rsquo;&mdash;what is their meaning?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Notes:<br>\nSince the Temple&rsquo;s destruction, the natural flow of blessings has been disrupted. The pain of this spiritual exile is expressed in various Hebrew cries of sorrow&mdash;each word (&#1493;&#1497;, &#1488;&#1493;&#1497;, &#1492;&#1493;&#1497;) hinting at different kinds of spiritual breakdowns. The student now seeks to understand why the language shifts and what these shifts reveal about the inner state of the worlds.<br>\nRabbi Shimon said: Indeed, the word &ldquo;&#1493;&#1497;&rdquo; (Vay), as I explained, refers to <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Zeir Anpin&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Literally means &amp;#039;Small Face&amp;#039;. It represents the Six Sefirot, Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, and Yessod. The Light from the upper three Sefirot of Chokmah, Binah, and Da&amp;#039;at comes to Malchut through Zeir Anpin.The Torah is Zeir Anpin, a channel that connects us to the upper three Sefirot through Binah. Our connection to Zeir Anpin is through Yessod by studying the Torah on all levels. Doing good, Tzedakah, and all kinds of sharing.Zeir Anpin also called Tiferet, is the name of the Sefira in the center of the Tree.&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=zeir-anpin\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Zeir Anpin<\/a> (&#1493;) drawing unto himself the Yud (&#1497;)&mdash;the head of the Yessod&mdash;when there is no union with <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Malchut&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color: #0000ff;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#1502;&#1500;&#1499;&#1493;&#1514;&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;Malchut is the lowest sefira of the ten sefirot. There is a level of Malchut in all worlds (Atzilut, B&amp;#039;riah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah). In the Daily Zohar studies, the mention of Malchut could be on the upper levels, not necessarily Malchut of the world of Asiyah that is the material world. In general, Malchut doesn&amp;#039;t have a light of its own but can draw from all the levels above it. Malchut can receive the Light in a pure process of &amp;#039;earning.&amp;#039;Malchut is an aspect of the female with a desire for the Light.The image of the sefirot below represents the lowest level of the world of Asiyah, Action, where there is an aspect of physicality, material existence.Malchut of the upper worlds manifests the levels below it. Therefore Malchut is also the Keter of the level below it. &lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=malchut\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Malchut<\/a>. But the word &ldquo;&#1488;&#1493;&#1497;&rdquo; (Aleph&ndash;Vav&ndash;Yud) is different. It signifies the sorrow or damage that comes when the Aleph (&#1488;)&mdash;which is <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Keter&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=keter\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Keter<\/a> or the head of the sefirot order, is affected by what is happening below. That is when the sorrow (&#1493;&#1497;) reaches all the way up to the Aleph (&#1488;), then even the highest will&mdash;the <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Supernal&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;In the Zohar studies, &amp;#039;Supernal&amp;#039; refers to the highest spiritual level.

This is greater sorrow and collapse&mdash;from the top to the bottom. And &ldquo;&#1492;&#1493;&#1497;&rdquo; (Hei&ndash;Vav&ndash;Yud) refers to something else: When the Vav (&#1493;) and Yud (&#1497;) are damaged, and yet they are still bound to the Hei (&#1492;)&mdash;that is, when there&rsquo;s sorrow within the Holy Name itself, as in the letters of the Name <a class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;YHVH&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;The Holy Name&lt;\/div&gt;\"  href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=yhvh\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex='0' role='link'>YHVH<\/a> (&#1492;&#1493;&#1497;&#1524;&#1492;).
