Ramchal indicates at the beginning of Petach<\/i> 52 that t<\/b>he<\/b> source of the makeup of Zeir<\/i> Anpin <\/i>is <\/b>in fact Imma’s<\/i><\/b> Judgment <\/b>element — her five Gevurot<\/i><\/b>.<\/i><\/p>\n
As we pointed out in our previous entry, the Partzuf<\/i> of Zeir<\/i> Anpin<\/i> is the next-to-last one, lying below Erich Anpin<\/i>, Abba<\/i>, and Imma<\/i>, and right atop Nukveh<\/i>.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be discussing Zeir<\/i> Anpin <\/i>because its six component Sephirot<\/i> (Chessed<\/i>, Gevurah<\/i>, Tipheret<\/i>, Netzach<\/i>, Hod<\/i>, and Yesod<\/i>) and Nukveh<\/i> comprise the Partzuf<\/i> equivalent of the lower seven Sephirot<\/i> under discussion.<\/p>\n
His point here is that Zeir<\/i> Anpin<\/i> is rooted in Gevurah<\/i> (harsh judgment). Let\u2019s see what\u2019s significant about that.<\/p>\n
