Chasidut su Isaia 50:2
מַדּ֨וּעַ בָּ֜אתִי וְאֵ֣ין אִ֗ישׁ קָרָֽאתִי֮ וְאֵ֣ין עוֹנֶה֒ הֲקָצ֨וֹר קָצְרָ֤ה יָדִי֙ מִפְּד֔וּת וְאִם־אֵֽין־בִּ֥י כֹ֖חַ לְהַצִּ֑יל הֵ֣ן בְּגַעֲרָתִ֞י אַחֲרִ֣יב יָ֗ם אָשִׂ֤ים נְהָרוֹת֙ מִדְבָּ֔ר תִּבְאַ֤שׁ דְּגָתָם֙ מֵאֵ֣ין מַ֔יִם וְתָמֹ֖ת בַּצָּמָֽא׃
Pertanto, quando sono arrivato, non c'era nessun uomo? Quando ho chiamato, non c'era nessuno a cui rispondere? La mia mano è affatto accorciata, che non può riscattare? O non ho alcun potere di fornire? Ecco, al mio rimprovero asciugo il mare, faccio dei fiumi un deserto; I loro pesci diventano sporchi, perché non c'è acqua, e muoiono per sete.

This is not the case with the hasidic mode of revelation, through which these words of the Zohar are almost self-explanatory, even according to our meager grasp. For all the chains and sefirot exist in Israel, and in point of fact all the supernal worlds emanated and were created and formed for the sake of being revealed in the Israelite person. It is for this reason that they were made in the image of a person.418Rather than the human form imitating the supernal form of Adam Kadmon, the latter, in fact, reflects the former! Thus the Zohar says that Israel completes God’s faithfulness [or, belief in God; emunah] in the world. First, because they reveal His divinity in the world, as the Mikdash Melekh explains. But further, because they themselves—literally, they themselves!—actively do this, since in them exist all the worlds, sefirot, etc… “Israel is the completion of the Holy Name.” So too, the unifications which they perform and intend not only affect that which occurs Above, but also unify all the holiness inhering within them, until Atzilut. When they are in exile and descent, both physically and spiritually, their Holy Spirit is distant from their bodies and souls. This is the separation between Tiferet and Malkhut within them, and within all the worlds. This is not to say, God forbid, that it is totally distant from us, for it is with us even now. The lack is “Why, when I came, was no one there, Why when I called, would none respond?,419Isaiah 50:2 no one whose spirit is aroused?”420The capacity and potential for unification remains alive; all that is needed is spiritual awakening and arousal to enact it. The essential point is that the person should be,421That is, truly exist and live. and that means that his spirit should be aroused. He should not just say words of the prayers and perform the commandments, but rather his spirit should be aroused, for as we have already said, this is the essence of hasidism: the awakening[hitorerut].
