קבלה אויף תהילים 29:11

“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them” (Isaiah 11:6). “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, that shall be left, from Ashur, and from Egypt, from Patros, and from Kush, and from Elam, and from Shin’ar, and from Hamat, and from the islands of the sea” (Ibid. 11). “Rabbi Shimon ben Halafta said: the Holy One, blessed be He, found no vessel that could contain blessing for Israel save that of peace, as it is written, ‘The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace’ (Psalms 29:11)” (Mishna, Oktzin 3:12).

Know faithfully that blessing cannot come to the world except through this quality called Peace-Shalom-שלום. About this the verse states,⁶⁸Psalms 29:11 “HaShem-יהו"ה will bless His people with Peace-Shalom-שלום.” Our sages, of blessed memory, said,⁶⁹Midrash Bamidbar Rabbah 21:1 “There is no vessel that holds blessing except for Peace-Shalom-שלום.”

We will now understand the words of the sages at the end of tractate Oktzin, “the Holy One, blessed be He, found no vessel that could contain blessing for Israel save that of peace, as it is written, ‘The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace’ (Psalms 29:11)” (Mishna, Oktzin 3:12).
