시편 34:15 카발라: Sha'arei Kedusha

1) The acquisition of good character traits in one’s elemental soul until they become completely natural to him. 2) Desisting from the evil of the 365 negative mitzvot, in the intellectual soul. 3) Fulfilling the 248 positive mitzvot that are called, “Do good.”²⁵⁷Psalms 34:15 – “Turn away from evil, and do good (סור מרע ועשה טוב).” Now, there also is an intermediate level, which is the acquisition of character traits that are close to desisting from doing the negative commandments. These are gleaned from the words of the Prophets and the words of Scripture.
