Malchus is
Adapted from a shiur by
Reva Emunah Seidel
10 Teves / Dec 14, 2021
We are empty vessels in need of being filled
Malchus dkedusha and dsitra achra are the same coin
Today is the 10th of the 10th
Today
is the day Achachverosh chose Esther HaMalka
Today is the day that
Malchus dkedusha and Malchus dsitra achra connect
Today we are fixing malchus dkedusha
How we source?
And how we reflect?
How do I receive all these gifts Hashem is giving me?
If my intention is to win and overcome you
That’s Malchus disitra achra
If my intention is to shine Hashems light /Hashrat HaShechina
then I give others an experience of Hashem
Then Imagine how much G-d loves me!
Malchus is
our daled amos
Malchus is
Materiality sh b’materiality
Earthiness she b’earthiness
Use all the gifts Gd has given you,
Not falling into false humility
Allow yourself to fully shine
as a way of people to
not fall in love with you
But Fall in love with the G-dliness within you
It’s not just me and you,
but Shechina beneinu (between us)
What are we giving each other?
A new strength to go on living.
Malchus is
Learning patience with love
Being able to feel a lack (in my stomach)
But I am being patient
Not grabbing
המתנה Hamtana / waiting
Like Serach Bat Asher
She waited and knew exactly when
to speak and sing with sweetness
“Od Yosef Chai”
With Malchus
Naim Elyon
(Serach Ben Asher was entrusted with the secret knowledge of Yosef’s bones
(עצמות The essence of Yosef
Malchus is
living your ideas through your behavior
Your actions, your body
how much you inhabit your own
body?
how you talk, the tone of your voice
more of me
is occupying more of
me
Malchus is
presence
your nochachut נוכחות
Your power
You are the queen of your 24 amot (6 directions x 4)
Who stands guard at the gate of your queen-dome
Who comes in who goes out
Which Food, relationships enter
You are queen of your queendom
Malchus is
our breath
Specifically nefesh
earthy breathing; filling your whole vessel
Malchus is being
A transmitter
You receive a message
And you don’t distort it
Allow it to channel through you
and be shared
Malchus is being
the gestator
Where we receive
And allow it to unfold
And allow it to be a bigger version than what we recived
And give back a bigger version
Malchus is
the quality of Emunah
Malchus is
Actualization
And manifestation
Malchus is
birthing
Taking a concept and birthing it into 3
dimensional reality
Malchus is being
a reflector
The moon
We teach men
You want to know who you are?
Look at your wife
If shes smiling, then you’re smiling
If she’s broken, that you have to look at yourself in the mirror.
Women are reflectors
Out body is a 3D physical map of all of our thoughts and ideas and emotions
And energy patterns
Look at your body
Is it tall or short
Is one part greater or smaller
They are reflectors of whats going on
Isnt it hereditary?
Ask: Why did your soul choose that part of your body?
Malchus is
Shechina
Malchut is presence
Hashems presence
The presence that exists when 2 people are connecting
Or when you connect to a rose in your garden
Seeing its full unfolding
Seeing an amorphous light
becoming a form
Malchus is
looking at something or someone
And seeing in it in all
Its journeys and experiences
The Rebbe says
If a huge tree has a huge gap
It is from a little cut in a sappling
Malchus is
your root system
Meaning
Your space and place in your world
your space in your family
And in your own eyes
And in others
Giving real kavod (respect)
Every creature has a right to be
Just because Hashem decided that
We don’t have a right to mess
with anothers kavod / Their Daled amos
Honor someone elses kingdom
Malchut is
nevua
Being a transmitter
Being a vessel;
refecting G-d through the material!
What hides hashem and what reveals hashem is the
same coin
ie. Beauty: to hide hashem or reveal hashem in the deepest way
A kiddush hashem
Someone else will want to come close to the light
They will say I too want to connect to this light
The rebbe says
This going to get healed in women
nashim tzidkaniot
Before geula
The healing will come through women
Fixing this chasm
Of separating the ruchnios and material (Leah & Rochel).
Malchus is
Being out there in the world and being connected to the home
Malchus is
The essence of connection
Every other sefira is in the singular
Malchut is the plural lashon
rabim of melech
That will reveal the Shechina
In that conversation, meal
Within the multiplicity
Is the connection
Malchus is
Reflecting G-d
The moon
The great reflector
The great changer
Reflecting nature
Bound up with teva
In our world
In our cycles
Of ratzo vshov
Malchus is
Receiving light
and being diminished again
The diminishment
allow us time to ingest the light
It will gestate and sprout
And allow movement within our home
Malchus
she b Malchus
births keter
Rabbi Nachman says
These fasts
make space for RUACH hakodesh
Sourcing air, instead of needing food
There are vibrational degrees of the energy we receive
Air, light auditory, what we see on our phone
In a state of receptivity
I decide
do I want this in my kingdom or not
How will it affect my kingdom?
3 aspects of my kingdom:
MELECH מלך
Mochin מ mental
Lamed ל lev
Kaf כ kaved physical body
Who do I let in?
Women are biologically more receptive that men
We are more vulnerable
Women have a greater Propensity to be more sad, afraid, lonely
Because have a greater ability to receive
See this fast day
As in invitation to quiet the lower vibrations
Quiet them
Sit quiet
When our lower vibrations have been stilled
we can then hear a different melody
It is more harmonious.
Not just hearing your own piece
Listen to the other person and harmonize to not over power them
Malchus is
Joining the pieces or your body
Or someone or something elses
Each is the melech of their own kingdom
Malchus is
allowing the consciousness of something
bigger to flow between us
Not When One person is not checked out
Or filled with self consciousness
Malchus is
connected to movement And kedusha
Meditate today
What am I really hungry for?
Sit quietly today
in your fast
Theres a temporaty hunger
The hunger will end;
And a long term hunger
a different type of hunger
Malchus is
a refining of self
Malchus is
expression
My ultimiate malchus is when I can express
Every quality Hashem has put within me
mommy, wife, musician, professional…
Malchus is
Expessing my the talents and gifts and qualities
In a Humble way
when I express that all the glory goes to Hashem
I want everyone to fall in love with Hashem
When they read my writing
see this painting
Or hear this music
I help others by taking care of my own malchus
Today 10 Tevet
Is the conception of Moshiach
9 months later
9 Av: Is the birth of moshiach
Access nourishment from other sources
Light, birds, Learning Torah
Transcend the sense of hunger
Reb Shlomo used to say
Its not about the fast
But
How do you break the fast?
What are first words you speak
How you eat?
What the first thing you eat
Malchut is
tefilla
Rachel imeinu
Malchut is
the realm where hashem is either the most
conceiled (ego)
Or the most revealed through …
this human being
Or an ant carrying the speck of wheat
Its easy in a spiritual space
And Harder when the life gets diminished
And ego fills the space
Bringing Hashem in those spaces
Makes hashem giggle
On this Taanit
Contemplate the question
What am I hungry for????
Malchus!!!!!!
The key
that opens the lock of malchus
Is to offer with our highest deepest intentions
To completely surrender the results
To Offer our contribution to the world…
A conversation, a class
And try to get our intentions
That this should promote Hashem
Reb Shlomo would say
“Bless me brother that I should be seen in a good light”
Meaning
G-d should be seen in a good light through me
The key
to stepping into and dancing in Malchus
Is allowing my true self to be seen
Risking… What if I show my own self and they don’t want me?
Malchus is
Stepping into full vulnerabilty
To show my authenitic wounded self
The you-ness of you
The key to malchus is
Knowing that
The results are none of my business
How it is received with another person
The key to Malchus is
knowing that
I am powerless over the results
I Show up with my best offer
I try to play in tune
And then let it go
I try to give my best
And let it land where it will land
And Not get concerned
with the potential negative feedback
Malchus is
dignity
Malchus is
the experience of Hashem
In every part of my being
Down to my bones

THE ROOT SYSTEM
Malchus is Torah Sh'b'al Pe.
And Women were given 9 parts of Speech, the realm of Torah sh'b'al pe.
Men were giiven 1 part of Speech.
Women help men acces their Bina.
Also, Maybe Serach's double neshama is also the bina yesera. (According so some meforshim she was both #69 and #70 of the souls that went down to Mitzrayim with Yaakov Avinu)
