Netzach (Victory/Endurance) — נצח

Netzach is the seventh Sefirah, the lower expression of Chesed on the Pillar of Mercy. It governs the divine attribute of perpetual endurance — the Zohar associates it with the prophet Moshe and with netzach as 'eternity,' the force that drives devotion beyond rational calculation. In Kabbalistic psychology, Netzach rules the emotional impulse toward God, the hitlahavut (fiery enthusiasm) that the Baal Shem Tov later emphasized. Within the Sefirot's architecture, Netzach and its partner Hod together form the 'legs' of the Tree, channeling the upper emanations into active engagement with the world.
