פרצוףThe Full Stature

partzufIn Gamatria ↗

Every limb a world, every deed a thread running through them.

All creation, upper and lower worlds together, has 613 parts, mirrored in the body's 248 limbs and 365 sinews, the soul's 613 faculties and the Torah's 613 commandments. God's influence is one and unchanging, but it differs with each recipient, and so divides into 613 conducts. A conduct that reaches all 613 is called a partzuf, a full stature; there are five: Arich Anpin, Abba, Imma, Zeir Anpin and Nukva. A commandment sanctifies its limb, repairs its part of the soul and of the world, and draws matching blessing down; a sin damages them all.
