Editing Sefiras HaYesod (section)

== Its Essence ==
Sefiras HaYesod is the last of the six Midos and its purpose is the connection and unification of the Midos, bringing them to their essence. Through the connection of Sefiras HaYesod, the influences of the Midos descend to Sefiras HaMalchus, which represents the actual external manifestation.

In the verse "Yours, Hashem, is the greatness and the might," which alludes to the seven lower Sefiros, the attribute of Yesod is hinted at in the word "kol" (all), from the words "for all that is in heaven and earth." This is its purpose - to connect the influences of all the Midos, which are in the aspect of heaven, and focus them toward the aspect of earth, which is Malchus.

The service of Yosef HaTzaddik was in the attribute of Yesod, and therefore he was called "Tzaddik."

In Pesach Eliyahu, Sefiras HaYesod is compared to "the sign of the holy covenant, the conclusion of the body."

Sefiras HaYesod is a continuation of the middle line and extends from Sefiras HaDaas and Sefiras HaTiferes.
