A level of Ze'er Anpin contains the light of giving with an illumination of the light of Ḥokhma within it. Thus, this is the third kind of “brain,” meaning a context in which the light of Ḥokhma, the “brain” of existence, is contained in a matured vessel following the previous constrictions (the first constriction and second constriction).Thislevelis called the tzaddi of tzelem on account of the ninesefirotinZe’er AnpinandNukba,101From Arikh Anpin and downward, the original sefira of Malkhut is missing since this original Malkhut belongs in the higher levels beyond the effects of the second constriction. Consequently, the light of Keter is also lacking in these lower levels, due to the inverse nature of vessels and lights (the loss of a lower vessel means the loss of a higher light).each of which is comprised of ten, which totals ninety, the numerical value of the letter tzaddi.

והנה נתבארו שלש אותיות מ' ל' צ' בשלשה פרצופין או"א וישסו"ת וזו"ן, בכללות עולם האצילות. אבל כן הוא גם בפרטי פרטות, שאין לך מדרגה שלא תהיה נבחנת בשלש בחינות מל"צ אלו, אשר בכל אחת מהן יש מל"צ.
We have thus explained the three letters mem, lamed, and tzaddi in the threepartzufimof Arikh Anpin,Yisrael Sabba and Tevuna, andZe’er AnpinandNukbain the broad plane of the world ofAtzilut. However, the same applies to the smallest of details as well, since there is nolevelin which these three aspects of mem, lamed, and tzaddi cannot be discerned, since there is mem, lamed, and tzaddi in each of them.
