TIKKUN OF THE FRUIT, the Crown belongs to Hashem.PE ZAIYN SICHOT HARAN. WE PRAY NOW FOR BEAUTIFUL ETROG.
Bs''d
AND THIS IS HOW THE TZADDIK SAVES THE WORLD FROM TOTAL DESTRUCTION only Kdusha saves a Jewish NESHAMA. FIND THE LOST PRINCESS. it start with S P E E CH. P E what goes out before eating!
In Sichot HaRan (Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom) #87 the Rebbe says that in an ideal world, the beauty of one''s etrog for the festival of Sukkot would match the beauty of one's Days of Awe, the ten days from Rosh HaShanah through Yom Kippur (inclusive). In brief (and leaving out all of the Kabbalah), he explains that one's innocent, childlike teshuvah (return to God) during the Days of Awe, opens within him a place to receive God's love and light. A child's lack of intellectual sophistication can actually enable him to have a deeper understanding, an understanding that gets into his bones.
We don't live in an ideal world, yet. Still, we pray on Tu b'Shevat that our teshuvah during the Days of Awe—or any day or night of the year—be childishly pure and simple, full of innocence and received with love. Amen.
May all your prayers produce beautiful fruits. Amen.

Although the 15th of Shevat occurs during the "days of the Shovavim,"[2] it is not a fast day, since it is the New Year's Day for the fruit of the tree. Through the tikkun that is performed on this day with fruit, the sefirah,"Tsaddik, Life of the Worlds," is aroused.[3] This mystery is mentioned in the Zohar, Bereshit,[4] "on the third day, the earth made fruit from the potency of that [supernal] Tsaddik. As it is written, 'And God said, let the earth bring forth… fruit trees that produce fruit…'[5] 'Fruit trees' refers to 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil' that bears fruit.[6] 'That produce fruit' alludes to Tsaddik, the foundation of the world…."[7]

It is a good custom for the faithful[8] to eat many fruits on this day and to celebrate them with words of praise, just as I have instructed my companions.

Even though this custom is not mentioned in the Lurianic writings, it is nevertheless a wondrous tikkun,[9] on both exoteric and esoteric levels.[10] For in the Palestinian Talmud, Asarah Yuhasin, ch. 10,[11] the following appears."'Listen, humble ones, and rejoice'[12] R. Hizkiyah R. Kohen said in the name of Rav, 'In the future a person will have to account for everything that his eyes saw and he did not eat. R. Elazar was concerned about this teaching and used to save poor man's gleanings. He would eat them, each one at its time.'"[13]

The reason is that whoever enjoys produce in this world without pronouncing a blessing is called a robber.[14] For by means of the blessing, one draws down shefa. The angel who is assigned to that fruit [which was eaten] is filled by the shefa so that a second fruit can replace the first. Thus one who enjoys the fruit without blessing it is a robber. For through eating an aspect of creation [without blessing it], he eliminated the spiritual element that it contained. [Thus he] prevented that divine power from being manifest in the world, when he should have drawn down a blessing from above. As a result, the angel's power is annulled, since it no longer possesses the shefa [that it needs in order to replenish the fruit]. That is why the person is called a robber.

He also said that it is as if he robbed from his father and mother.[15] For through the kavvanah[16] of the blessing recited when eating fruit, a person who eats rectifies the sparks of his own soul as well as the sparks that pertain to the souls of his parents. This is the esoteric meaning of, "I will make him disgorge what he has swallowed,"[17] which is related to [the secret of the verse], "the riches he swallowed, he vomits, [God empties it out of his stomach],"[18] So if one enjoys the fruit without a blessing, it is as if he robbed his parents of the divine sparks that pertain to their souls.[19] "He is a comrade of the Destroyer."[20] For the Destroyer's only intention is to rob the divine sparks and to absorb them [in the realm of evil] and to [prevent them from] returning to [their source] in holiness. That is the esoteric meaning of "for a person does not live on bread alone, but on all that goes forth from the mouth of YHVH."[21] This alludes to the secret of the blessing, which retrieves [the sparks] from impurity to holiness.[22] It is brought about through the "mouth of YHVH," i.e., by means of the chewing of the thirty-two teeth which correspond to the thirty-two times that Elohim is mentioned in the Story of Creation,[23] as we have explained at length in the previous section concerning the tikkun of the meal.[24]

The punishments [for these transgressions] also apply to someone who sees species of fine fruit and allows them to dry up and go bad without eating them. [By not eating them], he prevented the angels of the fruit from receiving [their share of] divine goodness. Since he did not say a blessing over the fruit, the angel's power is annulled and it is bereft of the shefa that depends on the blessing. He also robs his parents. For since he did not eat the fruit, he also neglected to eat the sparks that pertain to their souls, as has been explained. Accordingly, R. Eleazar used to save poor man's gleanings of all kinds of new fruit to eat. [For he wanted] to increase blessings and perform the tikkun immediately, so as not to miss the [opportunity for fulfilling] the mitzvot.

In order to effect this tikkun, it is fitting for us to eat all kinds of fruit on this very day and to bless them with this intention. For a mitzvah is best when performed at the proper time.

According to the Zohar, "R. Yehudah said, why is it written, 'even this God made corresponding to that?'[25] God made the earth to correspond to the firmament. Everything [below] alludes to what is above. For when R. Abba would see a certain tree whose fruit would change into a bird that flew from it, he would weep and say, 'if human beings only knew to what this alludes….' As R. Yose said, these trees from which wisdom can be learned,[26] such as the carob, palm, pistachio, and the like were all borne in one chariot.[27] All those [trees] that bear fruit, except the apple tree, allude to one supernal mystery…. And all the small ones, except for the hyssop, are the offspring of one mother. In heaven, powerful intermediaries are placed over each of the earth's plants, and each has its own mystery, just as above."[28]

From this you can understand that although the blessed Creator rules over the earth and everything has an angel assigned to it, nevertheless of greatest importance is the fact that everything is connected to the supernal attributes.[29] As they said there in the Zohar: "why is it written, 'I went down to my walnut garden'?[30] He said to him, come and see. This is the garden that went forth from Eden and it is the Shekhinah.[31] 'Walnut' refers to the Holy Chariot,[32] the four tributaries that spread out from the garden like a nut . . ."[33] From this we can infer that herbs can be distinguished by the pre-eminence of their divine roots above.

R. Hayyim Vital explained that there are thirty kinds of fruit trees. Ten [have their divine roots] in the World of Creation, corresponding to the ten sefirot of that world. Since their roots are far removed from tuma'ah [34] and close to the purely divine World of Emanation, they have no shell, either within or without.[35] They may be eaten as they are.[36]
They include the following: grapes, figs, apples, citrons, lemons, pears, quince, strawberries, sorbs, and carob. |

There are ten types of fruit [whose roots are] in the World of Formation. Esoterically, they correspond to the ten sefirot of Formation, which are intermediate, between the World of Creation and the World of Making. They are neither as close to the forces of evil as [the sefirot] of the World of Making nor as distant as the [sefirot] of the World of Creation.

Consequently, the seed kernels within the fruit are not eaten, since they are not soft like the seeds within the fruit that correspond to the World of Creation.

There are ten other kinds of fruit [whose roots are] in the World of Making, corresponding to the ten sefirot [of that world]. Consequently, we eat what is within and discard what is without. For the fruit's shell is a barrier between it and the World of Delights,[38] so that it will not take on the impurity [of the evil forces].[39] This is the esoteric meaning of the evil urge and 'the kelippah' cleave to the nefesh.[40] The following correspond to sefirot of the World of Making: pomegranates, walnuts, almonds, pistachio, chestnuts, hazelnuts, acorns, coconut, pine nuts, peanuts.

Now the ten kinds of fruit [that represent the World] of Creation have been purified of everything that relates to the forces of evil (pesolet)[41] and are left completely good. But a barren tree [represents] the opposite. It corresponds to pure evil, containing nothing but the kelippah. Just as the ten kinds of fruit [that correspond to the World] of Formation have an edible exterior and a hard interior, the kernel within, so it is with the kelippah.[42] When a fallen holy spark is great, the kelippah is not able to contain all of that light within itself. So [the kelippah] enters within the holiness and the holiness surrounds it.

The ten kinds of fruit [that correspond to] the World of Making have a soft interior surrounded by a hard shell. This is like the kelippah, when it takes a holy spark within itself, in order to be enlivened by it. It surrounds the spark just as a shell encompasses the fruit.

Consequently, we learn that there is no physical thing here below that does not correspond to something above. "For one is protected by another on a higher level, and both of these by still higher ones."[43] As things are below, so they are above. For there would be no shadow if there were no one to cast it.

My father perceived the esoteric wisdom [alluded to by the] wording of the Mishnah, which says,"New Year's Day for fruit of the tree," rather than "for fruit of the trees." The [sages of the Mishnah] were alluding to the Holy Tree, the Tree of Life,[44] as Isaac Luria's disciples explained. For tree (ilan) has the same numerical value as the holy name, YAHDVNHY,[45] as they wrote in their explanation of the following passage from the Zohar, Aแธฅarei Mot."That great and mighty tree [which contains nourishment for all is called the Tree of Life], the tree that planted its roots in these living ones."[46] Also, the Lurianic writings state that when the word tree (ilan) is spelled out fully, its numerical value is the same as twelve permutations of the name YHVH.[47] Thus [tree] alludes to Tiferet, the Tree of Life, which contains twelve permutations of YHVH, as stated in Zohar, Beshalaแธฅ, "twelve [supernal, engraved] regions ascended [in the scale], in the great and powerful holy Tree."[48] Also see the passage,"'And they came to Elim and there were twelve springs of water there and seventy date palms…'[49] and the Holy Tree grew strong in twelve regions . . ."[50]

The meaning is that the 15th of Shevat is the New Year's Day for tithing the fruit of trees. For most of the year's rain has already fallen. The sap has begun to ascend through the trees, and fruit begin to take form on the trees from this time. Similarly, in the divine realm, it is the New Year's Day for the fruit of the supernal tree which bestows its holy abundance on its fruit, the [upper worlds]. From them the shefa descends until it reaches the trees in our world below and the powers that oversee them.

"And establish for us, the work of our hands."[51] Through the special power of this tikkun, performed on this very day, through the power of the blessings and contemplation of the mystery of the fruit's divine roots, an effect will be produced in their structure and character above.

Moreover the person performing the tikkun can also be affected. For through the beauty of this tikkun, he can correct what he distorted (me'uvat lo yukhal litkon)[52] in damaging the [sign of the] covenant through inchastity.[53] By virtue of performing this tikkun for the fruit tree, he will heal his part[54] in the flawing of Tsaddik who makes fruit.[55] There is the added benefit of the penitential period, mentioned above.[56] Thus a tikkun for the flaw of the covenant is performed…
