Chapter 5: The Attributes of Chesed and Gevurah in creation 1.      The Process of Tzimtzum and Creation Tzimtzum, the Divine contraction, enables creation by allowing created beings to perceive themselves as independently existing. Initially, the world was conceived to be created through stern judgment (gevurah), but the attribute of mercy […]

1.      The Role of Kelim and Or The act of Tzimtzum and concealment is represented by the concept of kelim (vessels), which obscure the Divine life-force (or, meaning “light”).
