Ba'al Shem Tov · Noach, Chapter 78

  1. 1

    סוד חשמל (יחזקאל א' ד') [שדרשו חז"ל בגמרא (חגיגה די"ג ע"ב) עתים חשות ועתים ממללות שהוא מלשון] חש מל, שצריך לחשות עד שמל וכורת הקליפות אז ימלל וידבק למתק הדינין בשרשן שהוא סוד התפלה שביאר מורי בשם רבו וכו':
    (בן פורת יוסף דכ"ט ע"ג)

    And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire flashing up, so that brightness was round about it; and out of the midst thereof as the color of electrum (chashmal). (Ezekiel 1:4)
    At times they were silent (chash), and at times they spoke (milel) – chash mal.89Chagiga 13b. First you must be silent, until you cut away (mal89From the word “milah.”) the kelipos. Then you can speak and cling [to G‑d], in order to sweeten the Strict Judgments in their source. This is the mystery of prayer, as my Master explained it in the name of his teacher.
    Ben Poras Yosef, p. 29c
