B. The two types of Mitzvah’s; Mitzvah’s of revelation and Mitzvah’s of elevation: Torah Or p. 80b-81a
Just as there exist two different types of Tzadikim with two different job descriptions, so too, there exists two different types of Mitzvah’s which have two different effects and purposes. The purpose of some of the practical Mitzvah’s is to draw down divinity from above to below; Hamshacha. Included in these types of Mitzvah’s are the Mitzvah of Shofar, Lulav, Sukkah, Tzitzis and Tefillin. A second type of Mitzvah is a Mitzvah whose job is to elevate from below to above, Healah. Included in these types of Mitzvah’s are the Mitzvah’s of sacrifices and Reishis Hageiz.
