But the fruit of the fourth year corresponds to Da’at, with which we have a partial connection, since Da’ast is the intermediary between the cerebral Sefirot Wisdom and Understanding, and the lower Sefirot expressing emotion – Kindness, Severity, Mercy and so on. But its descent is in order to rise to a much higher level, which it is able to do on account of the exalted source of the physical body, [and the product of our service of self-restraint and avoidance of transgression.] This too is the real meaning of our entry into the Land of Israel. But in fact it is through inhabiting the Land in its practical physical reality that the Jewish people as a whole are able to link with the highest dimension, the boundless abundance of the ‘fifth year’, the intensity of holiness beyond the worlds which becomes part of wholesome daily life. This commentary gives a number of different interpretations, and then states that according to the Kabbalah, the Torah forbids eating the fruit for the first three years, corresponding to the three highest Sefirot, of which we have no grasp. It descends through the levels of the four worlds, as expressed in the Elokay Neshamah prayer: Emanation (expressed in the words ‘it is pure’), Creation, Formation and Action (expressed in the words ‘You blew it into me’). But Likkutei Torah5, quoting the Zohar, declares that the fruit of the first three years is forbidden because it relates to the three impure Kelipot, the ‘shells’, the spiritually lowest aspect of existence6. The higher Kelipah termed ‘Nogah’, literally ‘light’, can be transformed from negative to positive; but the three lower impure Kelipot are generally described as irredeema
