And when does She ascend above? When Israel stands in the ‘standing’ prayer. (ibid.) It is this that is written: When they stand, they let down their wings. For She ascends to the Infinite, to request sustenance from the Cause of all causes. And when She descends, She descends full of all good things. At that time: the angelic beasts∞ḥayot open their wings towards Her [Var. to receive Her with joy], in many songs and praises [Var. to receive Her with joy].
And in which place does She descend? In the letter ו Vav, which is in the middle of the letter א Aleph [Var. Middle Pillar], to which they call ‘Hear YiSRaEL∞Israel!’ composed of the letters ShYR EL (Song) of God.
