This “kiss” from Loven HaElyon is drawn down to all the levels that give over and reveal the Light, which are called “his sons,” i.e., the Shevatim, and all their “male” descendants, and to all the levels that receive and internalize the Light, which are called “his daughters,” i.e., Rochel, Leah, Bilha, and Zilpa, and all their “female” descendant for all time.
This “kiss” reaches not only Leah-Bina, and Rochel-Malchus, and the Shevatim of Beriah, but to every Jewish soul and to every level of holiness. The levels of holiness and the Jewish souls are divided into two general categories: male and female. Male implies that the main task of this soul or level is to give over and reveal Light, and female implies that the main task of that soul or level is to receive and internalize the Light. This “kiss” reaches all the souls and levels in both categories.
The Mittler Rebbe adds that this “kiss” empowers the male and female souls and levels to join together, so that the male levels will be able to give over and reveal the Light to the female levels, and so the female levels should be able to properly receive the Light from the male levels.
This “kiss” bestows and brings down into them the aspect of Hashem’s “Higher level of Mercy,” which causes that the “Awakening from Above” should be dependent on the “awakening from below.”
The verse continues “and he [Lavan] blessed them.” The idea of the ‘blessing’ is similar to what is written (Bereishis 1:28): “and G-d blessed them (Adam and Chava) and He said to them ‘be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and conquer it.’”
Meaning, the idea of a “blessing” is that there should be an exponential increase in the revelation of Hashem’s Light as it descends into this world, until it transforms the spiritual darkness into spiritual Light. The simple meaning of a blessing is that there should be an increase, in this case that the person’s family should increase through having many children and descendants. Similarly, the “blessing” of Lavan-Loven HaEloyon is expressed in increasing revelations of Hashem and their “descendants,” i.e., offshoots on a lower level, that can effect a transformation even in the lowest spiritual level.
Just as Hashem’s blessing to Adam and Chava was that their increasingly large family should conquer the world, so too the blessing of the Loven HaElyon to the Sefiros and the Divine souls includes the ability to conquer the fallen Sparks of Holiness in material mattes and bring them back into holiness, as will be explained.
As it is written (ibid. 28:14): “and all of the families of the nations of the earth will be ‘blessed’ by you and your children,” the idea that the “families of the nations” will be “blessed” by the Jewish people is, that all the Sparks of Holiness that fell due to the “Shattering of the Vessels” of Tohu will be drawn out (from unholiness) and included into the holiness of the descendants of Yaakov.
The Mittler Rebbe explains (ibid. 180a-b):
The “kiss” of Loven HaElyon, a revelation of the intense love of Hashem from higher than Atzilus, reaches not only the levels of Atzilus, but also the Shevatim of Beriah. Through them it also reaches each and every Jew in the world. It empowers a Jew to awaken for Hashem in prayer. When a Jew in the physical world awakens a love for Hashem, this transforms his animal soul and body, bringing them into the realm of holiness in a revealed manner. This draws out and reveals the Sparks of Holiness contained in his body and animal soul, as well as those contained in his material possessions that he needs, such as food and clothing etc.
Through this process, the “blessing” of Loven HaElyon, the drawing down and revelation of Hashem’s Infinite Light, reaches even the “families of the nations,” i.e., the Sparks of Holiness contained in the person’s physical aspects. (These sparks are called “families of the nations,” since they originally belonged to Kelipas Nogah, a level connected to unholiness. Kelipas Nogah is the source of life of all the material things in this world, and of all the nations of the world. (However, this life-force from Kelipas Nogah descends even further into a lower level Kelipa to give life to non-kosher things.))
The idea of “and they will be blessed by you,” is thus interpreted to mean “and they will be drawn down into to,” i.e., these Sparks of Holiness will be drawn into the Divine soul of the Jew through his Divine service.
