MALE/FEMALE – SHABBOS/WEEKDAYS The Maagid teaches (though there are many many profound ramifications, but we’ll just do a few) as we know, everything God made has a giver (male) recipient (female) dynamic – now the giver is the letter vov (a straight line) and the receiver is the letter zayin, a line with two “heads” (on top) this is because though the giver obviously is motivated through love, nonetheless, the receiver contain both, for the giver, love and fear (in fact, it is this fear that creates the love (as we are say attracted to a powerful person.) Similarly, there are six days of the week – these six days accept the giving to the holy Shabbat – however the Shabbat then being humble, hence connected to the ultimate infinite giver, can reflect back (just as sunlight that rebounds off say snow is far more potent.)
