Emor: Verse 103
רִבִּי אַבָּא אָמַר, מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ: זְמִינִין דְּקֹדֶשׁ. וְכַד מֵהַאי זְמִינִין, זְמִינִין מִן נַחֲלָא דְּנַגִּיד וְנָפִיק. לְמַלְכָּא דְּזַמִּין בְּנֵי נָשָׁא לִסְעוּדָתֵיהּ, אַעְטָּר קָמַיְיהוּ מִכָּל זִינֵי מֵיכְלָא דְּעָלְמָא, אַפְתַּח לְהוּ גַּרְבֵּי חַמְרָא, שַׁפִּיר בְּרֵיחָא, שַׁפִּיר לְמִשְׁתְּיָא. דְּהָכִי אִתְחֲזֵי, מַאן דִּמְזַמִּין לְמֵיכְלָא וּלְמִשְׁתְּיָא זַמִּין. כַּךְ מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ, כֵּיוָן דְּאִינּוּן זְמִינִין לִסְעוּדָתָא דְּמַלְכָּא, זְמִינִין אִינּוּן לְחַמְרָא טַב וְשַׁפִּיר דְּמִנְטְרָא. וְעַל דָּא מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ כְּתִיב.
Rabbi Aba said, "holiness gatherings" MEANS summoning of holiness, WHICH IS SUPERNAL ABA AND IMA, WHICH ARE CHOCHMAH. When they are summoned TO THAT PLACE CALLED HOLINESS, it is done from the flowing river, BINAH. THIS IS LIKENED to a king, who summoned people to his feast, and bestowed on them different victuals, and opened before them skins of scented wine that is good to drink. For so it ought to be, that whoever summons, does so to eat and drink. So "summoned from holiness" means that since they are invited to the king's feast, they are also invited to the goodly and worthy preserved wine. Hence it is written, "summoned from holiness, which you shall proclaim in their seasons."
Emor: Verse 104
אֲשֶׁר תִּקְרְאוּ אוֹתָם בְּמוֹעֲדָם, כְּתִיב וְאַנְשֵׁי קֹדֶשׁ תִּהְיוּן לִי, יִשְׂרָאֵל לְתַתָּא אִקְרוּן אַנְשֵׁי קֹדֶשׁ. כֵּיוָן דִּזְמִינִין אִינּוּן מִקֹּדֶשׁ דִּלְעֵילָּא אַתּוּן אַנְשֵׁי קֹדֶשׁ לְתַתָּא זְמִינָא לְהוּ, כְּדֵין אַתְקִינוּ סְעוּדָתָא, וְחַדוּ, דְּהָא לְכוּ אִתְחֲזֵי, בְּגִין דְּאַתּוּן אִתְקְרוּן אַנְשֵׁי קֹדֶשׁ, וְיֵהוֹן כֻּלְּהוּ זְמִינִין בְּכָל סִטְרִין דְּקֹדֶשׁ לְעֵילָּא וְתַתָּא.
"Which you shall proclaim in their seasons." It is written, "And you shall be holy men (lit. 'men of holiness') to Me" (Shemot 22:30). Yisrael below are called men of holiness, because they are invited from holiness above, THAT IS, THEY ARE INVITED TO RECEIVE FROM THE PLENTY OF ABA AND IMA CALLED HOLINESS THAT IS RECEIVED IN MALCHUT. THE MEANING OF THE VERSE, "WHICH YOU SHALL PROCLAIM IN THEIR SEASONS" IS you men of holiness below invite those FESTIVALS, WHICH ARE CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET, IN THEIR SEASON. You should then prepare a meal and rejoice, because it befits you, since you are called men of holiness. Everyone will be invited from all aspects from holiness above, ABA AND IMA, and from below, FROM MALCHUT, BY YISRAEL WHO RECEIVE FROM MALCHUT.
Emor: Verse 105
ד"א אֵלֶּה מוֹעֲדֵי יְיָ.' מַהוּ מוֹעֲדֵי יְיָ.' ר"ש אָמַר, מֵיְיָ' אִינּוּן. דְּבֵיהּ אִתְקָשָּׁרוּ מִתַתָּא לְעֵילָּא, וּמֵעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא, כֻּלְּהוּ בֵּיהּ מִתְקַשְּׁרָן, וּמִתְעַטְּרָן כֻּלְּהוּ, לְאִתְקַשְּׁרָא קִשְׁרָא חַד בְּקִשְׁרָא דְּמַלְכָּא. מַאי טַעֲמָא. כְּמָה דְּמַלְכָּא יָרִית לְאַבָּא וּלְאִימָּא, וְאָחִיד בְּהַהוּא קֹדֶשׁ, וְאִתְעַטָּר בְּהוּ. כַּךְ כָּל אִינּוּן דַּאֲחִידָן בֵּיהּ בְּמַלְכָּא, בַּעְיָין לְאִזְדַמְּנָא בְּהַהוּא אֲתַר עִלָּאָה דְּאִקְרֵי קֹדֶשׁ, בְּגִין דְּיִתְאַחֲדוּ כֻּלְּהוּ כַּחֲדָא. וְעַל דָּא מוֹעֲדֵי יְיָ' אִקְרֵי וּלְבָתַר מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ, דְּהָא בְּהוּ אִתְעֲטָּר בְּמַלְכָּא.
