Likutei Moharan 46:3/ליקוטי מוהר"ן מ״ו:ג׳

13 . Clapping hands also eliminates strife. For all strife emanates from the aspect of Korach against Aharon (Numbers 16), they being the aspect of left and right. Thus, by clapping, the left is encompassed within the right and the right is encompassed within the left, becoming one.

2This is the explanation of “His lightning bolts light up tevel (the world); [the earth] sees [and trembles]” (Psalms 97:4). “Tevel” is an aspect of clapping, because the right hand is AB and the left hand is RaYU. By encompassing one in the other, twice RaYU is made—equivalent to TeVeL. For also AB, which is the right, contains three times AB —equivalent to RaYU. And three times AB corresponds to the high priest, the regular priest, and the assistant priest.

3And by virtue of Tevel being seen—<through> clapping—“His lightning bolts light up.” There is a rectification of strife, which is called “a lightning bolt,” as is written (Zechariah 9:14), “and His arrows will flash like lightning.” And an arrow connotes strife, as is written (Genesis 49:23), “masters of the arrow made him their target,” which Onkelos renders: “masters of strife.”

4And this is the explanation of “All you nations, tikeu (join) hands” (Psalms 47:2). It connotes joining together, because twice AB RaYU has the same numerical value as TiKEU.
