The idea that \u201cthe seven days (of the week) are literally ruled by the seven (lower) Sephirot<\/i>, in that each one functions according to the capacity of its Sephira\u201d<\/i> as Ramchal adds in his comments here implies for example that Chessed<\/i> holds sway over Sunday, Gevurah<\/i> holds sway over Monday, etc., and Malchut<\/i> holds sway over the Shabbat<\/i> (as in \u201cShabbat<\/i> HaMalka<\/i>\u201d).<\/p>\n
That would imply, though, that all Sundays were basically alike, all Tuesdays, etc. But the truth of the matter is that each Sephira<\/em> is itself comprised of an infinite number of sub-Sephirot<\/i> (E.g., Gevurah<\/i> within the Netzach<\/i> of Malchut<\/i>, etc.) so each Monday is essential unique unto itself because a particular series of sub-Sephirot <\/i>and sub-sub-sub-Sephirot<\/i>, etc. holds particular sway over it.<\/p>\n (c) 2013 Rabbi Yaakov Feldman<\/p>\n Feel free to contact me at feldman@torah.org<\/a><\/p>\n ———————————————————-<\/p>\n AT LONG LAST!
