X-Y
- Yabok:
- Yabok is the name of the
river which Jacob transversed upon entering Israel, before his encounter
with his brother Esau.
-
- In Kabbalah,
an acronym for Yichud ["unification"],
Berachah ["blessing"], Kedushah
["holiness"]). Of the varying interpretations with regard to
the three levels of this most fundamental idiom and teaching of Kabbalah--yichud,
berachah and kedushah--the most often cited and expounded
upon in the classic texts of Chassidut
is that the three concepts correspond to the three general ascending
levels of the soul: nefesh, ruach
and neshamah; or one's
"world" of action--his ability to relate and unite with outer
reality, one's "world" of emotion--the blessing of abundant
emotive energy, and one's "world" of meditation--the
experience of holiness as a transcendent connection with the realm of
the Divine.
-
- The word Yabok equals 112
in gematria, the combined value of the two Names (referred to
together as G-d's "full Name") Havayah (26)--Elokim (86);
and as well the combined value of the three Names: Ekyeh (21), Havayah
(26), Adnut (65), which themselves correspond to the three
levels of Yabok.
