Hasidut untuk Ulangan 3:1

It is cited from the great Maggid that ‘for the sake of the forefathers who did [she-asu] Your will,’³⁶⁹Citation from the liturgy. that the forefathers aroused God’ will to create the world, when He saw their holy service with which they would serve Him.³⁷⁰In this reading, the forefathers did not merely act in accordance with God’s will, but rather were the initial cause of God’s will. God willed the world into being for the sake of creating Israel. If so, the root of Israel is above the sefirot, for it was through them that He willed to emanate the sefirot; thus, they preceded and caused the sefirot.³⁷¹Instead of “who did as You willed,’ the Maggid renders “who caused You to will.” As we have already mentioned from the Besht, that we have no right to grasp or speak of that above the sefirot, we can understand that which is cited from the Noam Elimelekh Parshat Pinkhas, that ‘when Israel is unified they are beyond comprehension;’ and in Parshat Devarim, ‘The collective of Israel is in the aspect of Adam Kadmon.’ Understand this.³⁷²As Israel originates above/before the Sefirot, its nature is ultimately beyond comprehension.
