== Spiritual Elevations and Shabbat ==

Zeir Anpin shines especially brightly on Shabbat. During the Musaf prayer of Shabbat, it ascends to the level of Abba and Ima (Father and Mother), which is an extremely high level of holiness. From there, Zeir Anpin and Malchut draw sustenance from Atika Kadisha (just as every world draws from the light of the world above it, as Abba and Ima constantly draw from Atika Kadisha). Therefore, the Shabbat morning meal is called "the meal of Atika Kadisha." During the third meal, it ascends even higher, to the highest level equivalent to Yom Kippur. At this time, Zeir Anpin itself reaches the level of Atika Kadisha, though this elevation is unique to Zeir Anpin. Since Zeir Anpin's elevation to Atika Kadisha is an internal elevation - where it receives the powers of Atika Kadisha called "Ra'ava D'Ra'avin" - this meal is specifically called "the meal of Zeir Anpin."
