He again explains, “from the beginning of the year,” which is Binah that is called beginning with deficient spelling, because without Aleph it is judgment, as judgment is attached to its side, that is, its left side, even though it is not truly judgment. “…to the end of the year” (Devarim 11:12): the end of the year is truly there as said, “righteousness lodged in it,” which is the end of the year, namely, Malchut.
