Question: What is a Partzuf?

Answer: A Partzuf is a spiritual object that receives light for the sake of giving to the Creator and consists of three parts: Rosh, Toch, and Sof (head, trunk, and legs).

The head (Rosh) performs the function of receiving the upper light, feeling it, and figuring out how to work with it in order to receive it for the sake of bestowal, in the likeness of light. After that, the enjoyment of light passes from the head into the body (Toch) of the Partzuf and is felt there.

What the Partzuf cannot accept into the body is blocked by it for receiving, and empty desires remain from the waist and below (Sof), which cannot be filled for the sake of the Creator’s pleasure.

Question: In principle, we are talking about desires. Is the Partzuf a desire that is in every person, or is it a common desire of all mankind?

Answer: Both this and that. In general, we all represent the whole of humanity as one Partzuf. On the other hand, each of us and each part of us is also divided into Partzufim.

Just like in our world, if I see some type of pleasure, I automatically scroll through options in my head on how to optimally enjoy it. As I accept it, I feel this pleasure in myself. And there is still some part that I cannot accept for some reason. It is only in the spiritual that all pleasures are determined in relation to the Creator.
