a) There are opponents who ridicule and abuse those who really fear G-d and this is because they receive Torah from scholars who lack integrity and who are called "Jewish devils"(Zohar,Pt.3,253). These "Jewish devils" receive their Torah from devils who have a 'fallen Torah' from fallen thousands. It says that Shelomo "spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five" (Kings1 5:12) which Shelomo merited to from the side of holiness. But these devilish scholars get their Torah from the husks and because of that they always have wonderful parables which the public like; all their discourses are full of similes and parables with wonderful explanations. However, there is nothing to be gained by these scholars for they haven't the power to guide people on the proper path. On the contrary, people fall into all kinds of big, atheistic questions as a result. Because of this they do not fulfill that which it says, "He honours those who fear G-d" (Psalms,15:4). On the contrary, they abuse and embarrass them and all the opposition to tzadddikim comes from them. Therefore we have to stay far away from listening to Torah from these Torah scholars who are not respectable, as explained above (See Chagiga,15; Moed Katan,17 and Ta'anit 7). , "

b) The way to rectify this is by the aspect of 'worm', which is 'faith', as it says, (Lamentations,4,5) "brought up" ('emunim' alluding to emuna, faith) "on scarlet" ('tola', meaning 'worm'). That is similar to Avraham who represents loving –kindness and faith, an aspect of "I will not entirely remove my steadfast love from Him, nor be false in my faith" (Psalms,89:34), for, by faith, which is an aspect of the right, one can overcome one's enemies, like it says, " the saving strength of his right hand" (Psalms,20:7). One can defeat the opponents and break and nullify the idol worship together with the atheism and abuse which comes from them.

c) To acquire loving –kindness, which is an aspect of faith, is only through taking in guests who are Torah scholars. The Sages taught us (B'rachot,10) from the verse, "A holy man passes by us always" (Kings,2:4) that someone who takes in as a guest a true Torah scholar is considered to have brought a Permanent sacrifice ( a 'Tamid', which means 'always'). By serving Torah scholars one merits to loving-kindness, as the Sages said (Ketuvot,96). That is why the 'tamid' was a sheep for it rectified the 'thousands' (elufim), an aspect "I was like a gentle (eluf) lamb" (Jeremiah,11:19) which alludes to being subservient to one's rabbi and serving him. This is 'tamid' (numerically 444) which is four times 'eluf' (111) , the rectification of the 'thousands', as above.

d) That is what David meant, "I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men

and despised"(Psalms,22:7). The rectification for this reproach and disgrace is a 'worm', meaning to nullify one self before the Holy One. Through this, we overcome the opponents and nullify the disbelief and atheism that comes from them. By taking in righteous Torah scholars as guests, one merits to loving kindness which is an aspect of the holy 'worm' which corresponds to the Tamid sacrifice. Then one merits to rectify and raise the hidden good in the Torah of the Torah scholar who is a Jewish devil by clarifying it and throwing away the evil and husks from it.

.

Master of the World, compassionate Father, help me to emulate the attribute of loving-kindness of Avraham, whose house was open to guests. Let me host true Torah scholars and tzaddikim and receive them with great love and respect, with tremendous joy. By serving them properly, may I merit to the trait of loving-kindness, and perfect my faith and humility so that I really feel my own worthlessness, like a worm.

Have mercy on me, for Your mercy is boundless; save me from all the Torah discourses that stem from fallen Torah, from the Jewish devils. Always guard me from such Torah innovations so that I never hear such Torah which comes from the husks. Rather, let me always hear Torah from true tzaddikim whose Torah is really pure, acquired through their great holiness and tremendous perceptions which are very sublime, Divine Inspiration. Let me put all my trust and belief in them so that I can really take pleasure in their holy words and achieve a deep understanding of them. Eventually, may I merit to real Torah innovations and use them as a foundation to build true structures of holiness in Torah learning and prayer. Through this, may we clarify the good from the bad and throw away all the evil and husks which hide Your true Torah.
