Parshas Kedoshim

The maamarim 2

1. 1 וכי תבואו אל הארץ ונטעתם כל עץ מאכל כו׳ “And when you come into the land and plant any tree for food” The three years of orlah and the fourth year’s “praises” trace how G‑d’s glory is revealed: while only the lower attributes shine into supernal speech, the kelipos can draw from it, and when Tiferes, the attribute of glorification, shines, the fruit becomes holy. So too our praise reaches only G‑d’s “Name,” while His essence can only be acknowledged with thanks. Maamar 1.33 paragraphs~1 h 20 min172 sourcesEnglish
2. 2 והדרת פני זקן זה שקנה חכמה And You Shall Honor the Face of an Elder A true Torah scholar holds the Torah permanently in memory, and since the Torah and the Holy One, blessed be He, are all one, G‑d dwells within him even while he is busy with worldly matters; whoever longs for unbroken closeness to G‑d should therefore acquire Torah by heart.
