Chasidut su Numeri 9:7
וַ֠יֹּאמְרוּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֤ים הָהֵ֙מָּה֙ אֵלָ֔יו אֲנַ֥חְנוּ טְמֵאִ֖ים לְנֶ֣פֶשׁ אָדָ֑ם לָ֣מָּה נִגָּרַ֗ע לְבִלְתִּ֨י הַקְרִ֜ב אֶת־קָרְבַּ֤ן יְהוָה֙ בְּמֹ֣עֲד֔וֹ בְּת֖וֹךְ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
E quegli uomini gli dissero: 'Siamo impuri dal cadavere di un uomo; perché dobbiamo essere trattenuti, in modo da non portare l'offerta del Signore nella sua stagione nominata tra i figli d'Israele?'
Mevo HaShearim
According to the aforementioned development, from the Oral Torah and on, the lights were revealed within the vessels and, through the Talmud, within man’s apprehension, albeit an apprehension which seems ‘human.’325That is, according to the standards and content of human thinking. They were further revealed in Kabbalah through an apprehension which seems supernal. Thus, these revelations were all founded on intellectual apprehension. This is not the case with hasidism. Its drawing is not limited by the intellect, and extends to all things, even to the vessels themselves. If this be the case, with hasidism predicated on the revelation of even the lights within the lowly things, why should the body be ‘left out’326A reference to Numbers 9:7 and 27:4. of that of the intellect? True, the body is lower than the intellect, but this after all is the essence of hasidism, to reveal even the light in the lowly place, and that it too is holy. This why even the body and emotive faculty (middot) of a person can affect [the higher levels of reality] Above.
