Torah

  • Nanach.Net – “And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads.” (Gen 2:10).  What does this teach us?  The Torah is a code of instruction and law (Torah=teaching), not just a map and storybook.  The river refers to the voice of the proper rebuker/inspirer, the Moshe-Mashiakh who needs this voice, as it says, “The rivers raised their voice” (Ps. 92), and “The voice of Hashem is on the waters” (Ps. 29).  And what are we taught from the four heads?  “And this is [the meaning of]: "Raise your voice like a shofar" — like a shofar specifically, for this voice waters the Garden, which is like: "And a river went out from Eden," which is like the voice of the melody of the song that will be awoken in the future, when He renews His world [in the aspect of the Land of Israel and direct Divine supervision and wonders, as it says, “a world of chesed/kindness will be built” (Ps. 5)], which is like the simple, double, triple, quadruple song [Y YH YHW YHWH=72] [Tikkunei Zohar, Tikkun 21 Daf 51], and this is [the meaning of] "like a shofar" (KeShoPhaR) being an acronym for: simple, double, triple, quadruple [Pashut', Kaful, Shalush, Rabu`a], which is like the future song, which is like the voice that waters the Garden, for via this voice specifically he [the Moshe-Mashiakh] can rebuke” (Likutei Moharan II:8). 
  • This is the meaning of "Then Moshe will sing" [Ex. 15]: The verse uses "will sing" in place of "sang" —- from here we learn that Moshe will sing again in the Time to Come. For even though the Jews sang at the time of the splitting of the sea, they still did not merit to draw forth the ten types of melody in completeness, to fully heal the Princess (see the 'Sipurey Maasiyot' of Rabbi Nachman, The Seven Beggars, Sixth Day). They only drew out a radiance of the ten types of melody, from which they merited to the song at the sea.
  • However, the main song in its completeness will only be in the future, when the Mashiach - who is Moshe himself -- will come. For what was is what will be, as is understood from "Then Moshe will sing". Then precisely, Moshe will sing the ten types of melody in completeness, and then the Princess, who is the Shekhina, and the congregation of Israel, will be healed.
  • For then he will sing a new song, in the aspect of "Mizmor, sing to Hashem a new song, for He has done wonders" [Ps. 96], which is the aspect of the "Song of Wonders", the song that is single, doubled, tripled, and quadrupled, that will be revealed in the future. For the revelation of Hashem's kingship - which is the aspect of the healing of the Princess, the kingship of holiness -- depends on the future revealing of His kingship before the eyes of all, in the aspect of "And Hashem will be King over all the earth" [Zech. 14]. Then the joy and gladness will be complete in all the worlds, through the arousal of the ten types of melody, which are the aspect of joy. And this is the aspect of "Hashem has reigned, the earth will rejoice" [Ps. 96], the aspect of "The heavens will be joyous, the earth will rejoice, and they will say among the nations: `Hashem has reigned'" [ibid.].
  • Then, the verse "Make music to G-d, make music; make to our King, make music" [Ps. 47] will be fulfilled, for G-d will have reigned over all the earth. For the main revelation of Hashem's kingship, the aspect of the healing of the Princess, is through music and melody -- the aspect of the ten types of melody, the aspect of "Give thanks to Hashem on the harp, play to Him on the ten-stringed violin, sing to Him a new song, etc." (Ps. 33). We find this in many verses which speak of revealing Hashem's kingship through song and melody. All this is the aspect of the ten types of melody through which the princess is healed, the aspect of the revealing of the Kingship of Holiness - to know that the kingship is Hashem's. (Likutei Halakhot, Yoreh Deah I, Halacha 4, Paragragh 4)
  • So may we be privileged to hear this voice of the proper rebuker and see the ultimate complete redemption soon and revelation of Hashem’s kingship!  Na Nach, Nachma Nachman, MeUman!
