Having explained what was involved in the breaking of the vessels, we now come to explain the repair that was brought about thereafter.

This proposition consists of three parts. Part 1: The repair consisted of the binding together... This is the first root of the repair. Part 2: There was an immediate awakening of love... This explains the resulting offshoots of this root. Part 3:...and all the Partzufim are bound up... This explains the new order that came into being accordingly.

Part 1: The repair consisted of the binding together of the two radiations... This is the first root that was produced, and after this, a number of other consequences followed. This is what the Sifra DeTzeniuta refers to as the “balance” (מתקלא, matkela), as will be discussed below (see Opening 69). This consisted of the joining of these two radiations together, and the result of their connection is the love found in all the Sefirot that emerge from them, as discussed below.
