the Sefirah, the week of Netzach, and we're going to be counting Malchut shebeNetzach, which concludes the entire week. And we were talking most of the week about the Sefirah of Netzach is the idea and the concept of being victorious and being successful in many different things. And now we're concluding the week with Malchut shebeNetzach that Malchut, of course, corresponds to a melech, to a king. And a king, a real king I'm talking about, is a leader. And a real king, a real leader, I'm not talking about a fake one, but a real king, a real leader is willing to waste all the treasures, all the secret powers just to win a war. When it comes to a real war and there's no other option, the king is willing to take it all the way. Even his life. That's a real king. And again, I'm talking about a real king like David Hamelech, Moshe Rabbenu, not the kings that you find in our generation and other generations that all they care about their their their wealth or money or power. I'm talking about a real king. A real king, as they say, when the going gets tough, we go all the way. And a true leader is willing to give up even his life. Why? In order to win. So there'll be victory, there shall shall be success. And how is good winning evil? In many cases you see that the king or the leader is the evil. But a real king is how is he overpowering good over evil or justice overpowering unjustice. See in our generation how the majority of the leadership and rulers are evil. And we see that how much there's no justice in this world. And a real king is fighting for justice and for honesty and for truth and for good and for the good to win over the bad. But nevertheless, in order for me to win, to have complete victory then I need to use all my resources, whatever I need to. That's a real king and a real leader. That's why when you're putting the two Sefirot together, Malchut shebeNetzach, it makes most common, most sense. Netzach is the power of winning and victory, and Malchut is the king. So the king has the power to go all the way till he wins. So Malchut and Netzach, they work very well together cuz that's the characteristics of a king and the characteristics of the Netzach, of the victory. Every Sefirah has a characteristic and every Sefirah has a purpose. Specifically when the Sefirah of Netzach reaches its purpose it's is revealed as the the victory of the Malchut. The victory of the rulership and kingship. And when do we see kings that are successful like David Hamelech and Moshe Rabbenu and many others in our history? So Sefirat Netzach, when it comes to its ultimate purpose, it's revealing the power of Malchut. Therefore, Malchut and Netzach, they go together very, very well.
