13The numerical value of the word shmeih, ‘Name’, is 345, the same as the value of E-lShad-dai, one of the seven sacred names of Hashem. On the other hand, 345 is alsoequivalent to the words elokim acheirim ‘foreign deities’ or forces of alienation. Whenwe observe the light of the sacred names of Hashem in everything, all forces of alienationand separation in the universe are nullified; the Shmeih becomes raba, ‘great’.Yisgadal v’yiskadash shmeih rabah: these four words correspond to the four letters in thename of Hashem: Yud, Hei, Vav and Hei. When we ‘fill’ these four letters with an Aleph,the sum of the letters is 10:Yud is spelled ‘Yud-Vav-Dalet’, which are 3 letters.Hei is spelled ‘Hei-Aleph’, which are 2 letters.Vav is spelled ‘Vav-Aleph-Vav’. which are 3 letters.Hei is spelled ‘Hei-Aleph’, which are 2 letters.3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 10This is another illustration of the fact that when we create kedusha or ‘sanctification’, the‘number ten’ manifests, meaning the energy of completion and perfection. We are sealedfrom the influence of the number eleven—kelipa, separation, and negativity.…Be’alma di-v’ra chirusei;v’yamlich malchusei,v’yatzmach purkanei v’kareiv Meshichei…In the world that was created according to His will;May His Kingdom be established,May Redemption sprout forth, and may His Anointed One come soon.
