235 - Who goes and is divided and falls

Know that who goes and is divided and falls and then the world laugh from him, and he is ashamed from this this comes by that he damaged in the joy of festival because festival is called foot, and also is called appointed time and by that he damaged in joy of festival, is made from this foot appointed therefore his foot is appointed and he fell and this the laughter that they laugh, it is aspects of the fallen joys from damage of joy of festival and therefore he is ashamed because idolatry is called shame, [Hosea 9] and who despises the appointed times as if he worships idolatry (Pesachim 118) therefore comes on him shame and sometimes it is to him for atonement and sometimes it is not atoned for him in this only in order to remind him that he should return.
