Chasidut su Zaccaria 14:9
וְהָיָ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא יִהְיֶ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה אֶחָ֖ד וּשְׁמ֥וֹ אֶחָֽד׃
E l'Eterno sarà re su tutta la terra; In quel giorno l'Eterno sarà uno e il suo nome uno.
Kedushat Levi
Genesis 27,33. “he shall also remain blessed.” We need to examine what exactly prompted Yitzchok to say this, seeing that he did give Yaakov another blessing in 28,1-4. Yaakov received the first blessing when he brought his father the meal, and the second one when he set out to flee from his brother Esau, (though his father thought he was sending him only to marry one of Lavan’s daughters.) On the surface, the first blessing was the major blessing, whereas the precise meaning of the second blessing was not even spelled out. If the second blessing was the “minor” blessing, it must have been meant to apply to Yaakov while he was alive on this earth, concerning himself with success in his undertakings on earth. The effect of his first blessing was meant to be reserved for use in the world to come, or at least on earth, but after the arrival of the messiah.
In his comments on Zecharyah 14,9 ביום ההוא יהיה ה' אחד ושמו אחד, “on that day G’d will be One and His name will be One,” the Ari z’al comments that the meaning is not that G’d’s name will undergo changes, but that the meaning of G’d’s name(s) will be clear to all of mankind. G’d’s name י-ה will no longer be an allusion to exile, nor will His name ו-ה be abused by atheists using it for their own purposes. When the time comes when G’d will deal with the “left” side of the emanations judgmentally, neutralizing its influence forever, the two parts of G’d’s name will be on a par with one another as if there were no ה and no ו but two letters י. When Yitzchok told Esau, concerning Yaakov’s future, גם ברוך יהיה, “he will also remain blessed in the future”, he referred to that future.
