Partzufim

Countenances: in Lurianic Kabbalah, the configurations of the sefirot as divine faces or persons.

Also: parzufim

Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism

After the breaking of the vessels, the sefirot were reorganized into partzufim, countenances, such as the Long-Suffering One, Father, Mother, the Small Face and his Female. Their relations and unions describe the dynamics of the divine world that prayer seeks to repair.
