To describe the blemishes that are incurred by leaving Eretz Yisrael, we must categorize them. The concept is as follows: the kelipot have five basic transformations and the same is true for the kelipot of those who leave Eretz Yisrael. There are five varying levels. Yet he who merits dwelling in Eretz Yisrael on a permanent basis is freed and cleaned of any of these levels.

The first level, are those who live in Syria outside of Damascus from the wall of the city and inwards which is the place of Beit Rimon. That area is one of the four kingdoms that is ruled by 'Satan'.

We know that each country has one ministering angel who is its representative in the heavens. Yet all seventy of those angels take commands from 'Satan' and [the female demon] Ra'a--. [In addition to commanding the other angels] Ra'a-- is directly in charge of all the borders of Egypt as well, which is four hundred parsangs square. 'Satan', on the other hand, was given four kingdoms to rule over. In each of those kingdoms he has a maiden or concubine.

The four kingdoms are; 1) Damascus and Bait Rimon, 2) Tyre, which is in opposite Eretz Yisrael, 3) Malta (originally Rhodes), and 4) Granada. There are those who say that the fourth kingdom is Yishmael. In each of those four kingdoms, sitting on the throne is one of the four concubines…

In each of those four kingdoms, sitting on the throne is one of the four concubines previously mentioned. The rest of the other countries and cities each have a portion of one of the seventy ministering angels. (Thus far the writings of Rav Chaim Vital.)

In my impoverished opinion those seventy ministers together with 'Satan' and Ra'a-- comprise the Ab (with the numerical value of 72) of the kelipot. They are known as "Av HeAnan","a thick cloud" (as in Ex. 19:9). They become a screen or veil through our sins between G‑d and us. This is the essence of the verse, "You have covered Yourself in a cloud that prayers cannot pierce". (Lamentations 3:44) They are called the "Clouds without morning" (a play on the verse "Morning without clouds" from Samuel II 23:5). Yet G‑d has chosen the Jews from amongst all the nations to be his special inheritors. And the land of Israel was chosen above all the other lands.

Behold he who dwells in Syria (specifically Damascus) is under the rule of one of the concubines of 'Satan'. Whereas in the rest of the cities of Syria, a person's soul is rooted in the kingdom of Sandalf--. Upon his soul is one encasing from the kingdom of the "world of Temurot (meaning 'oppositions')". Upon that husk is yet another that is rooted in the realm of 'Satan'. Upon that is a third shell stemming from the world of Ra'a--.

The second level of those living in Chutz LaAretz starts from Syria (Damascus) and outwards (away from the sea). His soul's source is from kingdom of Sandalf--. Upon his soul is one encasing from the kingdom of the world of Temurot. Upon that husk are another two shells that are rooted in the realm of 'Satan'. Upon that is a forth shell stemming from the world of Ra'a--. The third level starts from across the sea and outwards

The third level starts from across the sea and outwards. His soul's source is from kingdom of Sandalf--. Upon his soul is one encasing from the kingdom of the world of Temurot. Upon that husk are another three shells that are rooted in the realm of 'Satan'. Upon that is a fifth shell stemming from the world of Ra'a--.

The fourth level is in the place under the rule of one of the four kingdoms of 'Satan'. His soul's source is from kingdom of Sandalf--. Upon his soul is one encasing from the kingdom of the world of Temurot. Upon that husk are another four shells that are rooted in the realm of 'Satan', these symbolize the four directions and are opposite the four legs of G‑d's throne. Upon that is a sixth shell stemming from the world of Ra'a--.

The fifth level is the land of Egypt. His soul's source is from kingdom of Sandalf--. Upon his soul is one encasing, the fourth, from the kingdom of the world of Temurot. Upon that husk are another four shells that are rooted in the realm of 'Satan', as mentioned above. Upon that are another four shells stemming from the world of Ra'a--.

Know that there are three worlds of impurity: Temurot, 'Satan', and Ra'a--. The Kelipa of Temurot is called Kea, meaning "vomit". The kelipa of 'Satan' is called Tzo'a, meaning "excrement", as in the verse "Go out [in Hebrew, Tzay], and tell him" (Isaiah 30:22). Tzay should read as Tzo'a. (refer to Avoda Zara 47b, Shabbat 82a, Zohar part two 252a) These are also referred to as, "Vomit and excrement without place" (Isaiah 28:8). The kelipa of Ra'a-- is called Dava, from the similar term referring to a menstruate woman.

Anyone who leaves Eretz Yisrael, with intention of dwelling permanently in Syria will have the following experience as soon as he has left further than four cubits outside the border: In place of his soul, that originated in the world of Yetzira, enters a soul from the world of Asiya - Sandalf--. Subsequently, it is enclothed by one encasing from the kingdom of the world of Temurot. Upon that husk is yet another that is rooted in the realm of 'Satan'. Upon that is a third shell stemming from the world of Ra'a--. The most potent [of these kelipot] is that of 'Satan', for he rules over all of Chutz LaAretz.

He who leaves Eretz Yisrael to reside permanently abroad, yet not across the sea, experiences the following spiritual metamorphosis: His wise aspect of Nefesh - his soul, that originated in Yetzira - is removed and is replaced with one from the world of Asiya. Yet the animalistic aspect of his Nefesh doesn't undergo any change throughout this whole process. Upon this soul is one encasing from the kingdom of the world of Temurot. Upon that husk are another two that are rooted in the realm of 'Satan'. Upon that is a fourth shell stemming from the world of Ra'a--. Since he intends to return…G‑d has mercy upon him and enclothes his Nefesh of Yetzira…like a protective barrier

He who leaves Eretz Yisrael to dwell permanently across the sea (which is on the left side of the world), experiences the following spiritual metamorphosis: His wise aspect of Nefesh - his soul, that originated in Yetzira - is removed and is replaced with one from the world of Asiya. Yet the animalistic aspect of his Nefesh doesn't undergo any change throughout this whole process. Upon this soul is one encasing from the kingdom of the world of Temurot. Upon that husk are another three that are rooted in the realm of 'Satan'. Upon that is a fifth shell stemming from the world of Ra'a--. Again the most powerful being those three husks from 'Satan'.

He who leaves Eretz Yisrael to live permanently in Egypt, undergoes the following spiritual transformation. His wise aspect of Nefesh - his soul, that originated in Yetzira is removed and is replaced with one from the world of Asiya. Yet the animalistic aspect of his Nefesh doesn't undergo any change throughout this whole process. Upon this soul is one encasing from the kingdom of the world of Temurot. Upon that husk are another four that are rooted in the realm of 'Satan'. Upon that are four more shells- stemming from the world of Ra'a--.

He who leaves Eretz Yisrael to abide in one of the four kingdoms of 'Satan' has the following changes of soul: His wise aspect of Nefesh - his soul, that originated in Yetzira is removed and is replaced with one from the world of Asiya. Yet the animalistic aspect of his Nefesh doesn't undergo any change throughout this whole process. Upon this soul is one encasing from the kingdom of the world of Temurot . Upon that husk are another four that are rooted in the realm of 'Satan'. Upon that is a sixth shell- stemming from the world of Ra'a--.

Yet he who departs Eretz Yisrael with intentions to return quickly, leaving behind his wife and children in Eretz Yisrael, doesn't lose his Nefesh of Yetzira. Nonetheless his soul is enclothed by one from Asiya. That is why he must observe the times of Yom Tov as the times are in Eretz Yisrael! This is true since he intends to return and that his Nefesh is from the realm of Yetzira. That is all for his benefit. For if it were not so then immediately upon his departure of Eretz Yisrael his Nefesh of Yetzira would be pounced upon by the kelipot, and they would defile his soul. Therefore G‑d has mercy upon him and enclothes his Nefesh of Yetzira with a Nefesh of Asiya before the kelipot have a chance to attach themselves to his core Nefesh and defile it. Rather, the kelipot attach themselves to the Nefesh of Asiya, which is like a protective barrier for his Nefesh of Yetzira.
