- 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.
