ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף ישעיהו 52:2

הַמַּגְבִּיהִי לָשָׁבֶת, הַמַּשְׁפִּילִי לִרְאוֹת “Who sits on high; Who looks down…” “Who looks down” at the needs of His children in heaven and on earth. מְקִימִי מֵעָפָר דָּל “God brings up the poor out of the dirt…” The word “poor” refers to the fallen Sukkah of David who is impoverished and lacking because She does not cause anything (but is the subject of other causes)³⁰⁰The Shechinah, like the moon, is not the source of light but only receives light from other sources. Similarly - She does not cause but is the subject of other causes. when She is in exile and rolls about in the dust and ashes, as is written, “Arise, shake off the dust…..” (Is. 52:2) מֵאַשְׁפֹּת יָרִים אֶבְיוֹן “From the refuse it raises up the needy.” This is Tzadik Chai, the living righteous³⁰¹Tzaddik is another name for the Sephirah of Yesod, or foundation. The chart above does not appear in Rabbi Foa’s text but is helpful in understanding the images he is using. who is also needy and desirous of that thing (Shechinah).He lifts Her up and places Her with, “To seat Her with the nobles.” This refers to (the Sephirot) of Netzach and Hod, Supporters of Truth, who are, “The nobles of His people.” (Ps. 113:8) And in particular, looking down, “setting the childless woman…” This refers to Rachel, the childless woman in her household³⁰²Rachel is a reference to the Shechinah.. Now she will be the Happy mother of children and therefore (we say,) Halleluyah, as we have explained.
מעתה We now can understand the five Yuds at the ends of the words in Psalm 113. They add up to fifty for the fifty gates of redemption. When King David said, “God lifts up the needy from the refuse heap…” it is because he saw with the holy spirit what the nations would eventually do to the site of the Holy Temple. But the Divine Presence will never leave the Western Wall. This is told to me in a story from the time of Sultan Suliaman.³⁰³Suleiman 1494 – 1566 commonly known as Suleiman the Magnificent in the Ottoman realm, was the longest-reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1520 until his death in 1566.  Under his administration, the Ottoman Empire ruled over at least 25 million people. He did not know the location of the Holy Temple so he commanded (one of his subjects) to search Jerusalem for it. It came to pass that the person who was responsible for the search was about to give up, when he saw one woman with a basket filled with filth and garbage on her head. He asked her, “What is that on your head?” and she answered, “Filth!” (He asked,) “And where are you going?” (She answered,) “To a certain place,” . He asked her, “Where are you from?” She answered, “From Bethlehem.” He said to her, “Is there no place closer to Bethlehem to throw your garbage?” She answered, “We have a tradition that anyone who brings his garbage to a certain (in Jerusalem) place is fulfilling a commandment.” The appointee said to himself, “This is certainly the place!” He commanded the people to remove the garbage from that place which had turned into a dung heap. Beneath it, he revealed the holy place. He went and told King Suliman and the King was very happy. The King commanded his appointee to oversee the cleaning of the site and to wash the wall with rose water and there they made a place of prayer, causing God again to dwell in this site. The people came when it was built and the Divine Presence dwelled there again. See how evil has befallen us from our enemies. For the woman who spoke to Suliman’s appointee was an Aramean (a non-Jew), and her intention was to desecrate the Holy Temple and cause God’s presence to depart from it, God forbid. It was for this reason that King David said, “from the refuse piles, He raises the destitute…” It should be understood plainly: They made the place of holiness a garbage dump and from there they raised the destitute (the Divine Presence).

The Book of the Covenant (bris). Bereishis is called the Book of the Covenant because it contains all the covenants made with Noach and the Patriarchs. Alternatively, the word bris is a variant of the word bri’ah—“creation,” in which case Bereishis is actually called the Book of Creation.

and close to sudden death Heb. וגוע מנער, dying from the strangulation of sudden death, as (Exod. 14:27): “and the Lord strangled (וינער).” Menachem (p. 123) defines וינער as an expression of beating, as (Isa. 33:15): “who shakes (נוער) his hands from taking hold of bribe”; (Isa. 52:2), “Shake yourself (התנערי) from the dust, arise”; (Isa. 1:31), “And the[ir] strength will become as tow (לנערת)”; (Job 38: 13), “so that the wicked will be shaken (וינערו) from it”; (Neh. 5:13), “even thus may he be shaken out (נעור) and emptied.”
