Vayelech
Blessing Creation Faith Holy Name

35. "And they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed" (Ibid.). HE ASKS, what is meant by, "And they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed?" AND HE ANSWERS, this is one who does not know how to unify the Holy Name and bind the bond of Faith and draw blessings where they should be and glorify the name of his Master. Whoever does not know how to glorify the name of his Master, it would have been better for him had he not been created.

35. וּבוֹזַי יֵקָלּוּ, מַאי וּבוֹזַי יֵקָלּוּ. דָּא הוּא מַאן דְּלָא יָדַע לְיַחֲדָא שְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא, וּלְקַשְּׁרָא קִשְׁרָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא, וּלְאַמְשָׁכָא בִּרְכָאן לַאֲתָר דְּאִצְטְרִיךְ, וּלְאוֹקִיר שְׁמָא דְּמָארֵיהּ. וְכָל מַאן דְּלָא יָדַע לְאוֹקִיר שְׁמָא דְּמָארֵיהּ, טַב לֵיהּ דְּלָא אִבְרֵי.
