I need a virtuous people. If you agree to be the remedy for all the nations, I command you to “be unto Me a kingdom of priests,” which is the love of others in its final form of “Love your friend as yourself,” the axis of all the Torah and Mitzvot. And “a holy nation” is the reward in its final form of Dvekut with Him, which includes all the rewards that can even be conceived (Baal HaSulam, “The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee]“ ).

The phrase “And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” indicates that the entire nation must attain this spiritual level.

“You shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests” refers to the work above the receiving vessels (Kelim). By achieving correction in the bestowing Kelim at all levels of Aviut present within the soul, a person reaches the correction of AHP. That is, all the work of GE, the “kingdom of priests,” is needed solely to correct AHP and bring it under one’s dominion.

These are the two stages of correcting the Kli. After the shattering of the vessels, no particle remains that does not consist of four parts: GE, GE within AHP, AHP within GE, and AHP.

It is impossible to distinguish one part from another. The shattering of vessels as it applies to souls is different from bodies in this world where one can distinguish who belongs to Israel and who belongs to the nations, who was born to a Jewish mother and who was not. When it comes to souls, however, the shattering occurred within all souls. Unlike physical bodies, which are divided into Israel and the nations, there is no such division here, not even symbolically. All souls underwent the shattering.

One can speak of relative shattering within all particles, but ultimately, each individual fragment is so intertwined with all others that every part contains everything, as the shattering spreads to the most minor desire in existence, fragmenting it as much as possible.

Therefore, the work is in analyzing and correcting each desire from the purest to the coarsest, from the lightest to the heaviest. Those desires that can be separated and corrected first due to their purity are called “Israel.”

This is why the work begins with them, as it is written: “And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests.” These are the desires that can be separated from AHP, from the desire to receive, and assigned solely to GE – the desires to bestow. These form Galgalta veEynaim of ZON in the world of Atzilut, and they are called Israel.

Why? Because this type of desire was never meant to be shattered or corrected. These desires have no need for reception and therefore do not relate to receiving the Light of Hochma. The purpose of creation to attain equivalence of form with the Creator by receiving for the sake of bestowal is not for them.

Therefore, all GE are Kelim, the attributes of the Creator, that simply need to mix with AHP, correct themselves, and thereby establish a system through which AHP can be corrected. In and of themselves, they do not need shattering or correction.
