וְעוֹד, נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ, לְמִי אָמַר אֶת זֶה (לְמַעְלָה)? לְאוֹתָם הַמַּלְאָכִים שֶׁמְּבָרְכִים וּמְקַדְּשִׁים אֶת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְמַעְלָה בְּכָל יוֹם בְּבָרוּךְ וְקָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ. זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב וְקָרָא זֶה אֶל זֶה וְאָמַר קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ. וּמִנַּיִן לָנוּ שֶׁמְּבָרְכִים אוֹתוֹ? אֶלָּא כְּשֶׁשּׁוֹאֲלִים אַיֵּה מְקוֹם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְהַעֲרִיצוֹ, אוֹמְרִים בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד יהו”ה מִמְּקוֹמוֹ, וְאָנוּ כְּנֶגְדָּם מְקַדְּשִׁים אוֹתוֹ בְּקָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ, וּמְבָרְכִים אוֹתוֹ בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד יהו”ה מִמְּקוֹמוֹ.

וְהֵם אוֹמְרִים עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ. בְּצַלְמֵנוּ, שֶׁמְּקַדְּשִׁים אֶת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא כְּמוֹ שֶׁבֵּאַרְנוּ, וְקָרָא זֶה אֶל זֶה וְאָמַר קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ, כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ, לְעֻמָּתָם מְשַׁבְּחִים וְאוֹמְרִים בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד יהו”ה מִמְּקוֹמוֹ, וְעוֹד לְמַעְלָה נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם, כָּאן נִכְלְלוּ כָּל הַסְּפִירוֹת, שֶׁהֵן יו”ד ה”א וא”ו ה”א, שֶׁהֵן עֶשֶׂר, וְעוֹלוֹת לְחֶשְׁבּוֹן אָדָם, וְאוֹמְרִים בִּשְׁבִיל יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמַטָּה, נַעֲשֶׂה אָדָם בְּצַלְמֵנוּ כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ. וְיִרְדּוּ בִדְגַת הַיָּם – אֵלּוּ תַּלְמִידֵי חֲכָמִים שֶׁמִּתְגַּדְּלִים בְּיָם הַתּוֹרָה, שֶׁיּוֹרְשִׁים מִשָּׁם נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה, וּבְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם – אֵלּוּ בַּעֲלֵי הַזְּכֻיּוֹת שֶׁבִּזְכוּתָם (שֶׁזְּכוּתָם) פּוֹרְחִים לְמַעְלָה וְיוֹרְשִׁים מִשָּׁם רוּחַ, שֶׁהוּא עוֹף יְעוֹפֵף בִּכְנָפַיִם שֶׁל מִצְווֹת עֲשֵׂה, וּבַבְּהֵמָה – אֵלּוּ עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בָהֶם אַל תִּירְאוּ אֶת עַם הָאָרֶץ כִּי לַחְמֵנוּ הֵם.

Tikkun 47 – 3

When God said ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness’ he used the plural form, ‘Let us’, ‘Our image’, ‘Our likeness’. The Zohar asks to whom God was talking to? And answers that God was talking to the angels that are close to him.

The Creator of the world and our spiritual system is the light of the Endless. These angels are the aspect of Keter, Chokmah and Binah. They are Holy and connect to the Endless every day with the words “קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ” that is mentioned in the vision of Isaiah chapter 6.

These angels also ask the question: “Where is the place of his Glory?” “אַיֵּה מְקוֹם כְּבוֹדוֹ”. A question is a vessel and when the angels asked the question, the light was already in it. The answer is “The Shabbat”. During the highest level connection of Shabbat, we repeat the qusetion of the angels and the Holy Ari reveasl to us that when we recite the word “אַיֵּה”, “Where”, we receive the soul level of Neshama of Shabbat. The word consists of the initials for “את יום השבת” “The Shabbat Day”.

When God created Adam, whom we all are a part of, he designed the system to allow complete connection to him through the system of the ten Sefirot.

The upper three are the Holy ones, Keter, Chokmah and Binah as they are always connected to the Endless.

Man, Adam, אָדָם, has the same numerical value, 45, of the spelled name of God, YHVH, יו”ד ה”א וא”ו ה”א. The ten letters are the aspect of the ten Sefirot.

Understanding the above gives explanation to why a great Kabbalist, “Ben Ish Chai” said studying the Zohar on Shabbat is worth 1000 hours of study on a regular weekday.
