- The Shechinah descends together with the Torah: Upon the [Torah, the wisdom of Hashem in Atzilus] descending from world to world, the Shechinah, Divine presence, likewise descended with it into each and every world.
- Within the holy of holies of each world: The Shechinah descended and became invested within the chamber of the Kodesh Hakedoshim of each world.
- The Shechinah is Malchus of Atzilus: Now, the Zohar and Eitz Chaim state that the Shechinah is Malchus of Atzilus. Malchus of Atzilus is a revelation of G-d’s infinite light which shines to the worlds, for which reason it is called the word of G-d and the breath of His mouth. As, just as one’s speech serves as a conduit for revelation of one’s thoughts to the listeners, so too Malchus reveals the G-dliness to the worlds and its creations.
- Now, this Malchus of Atzilus becomes invested within the Kodesh Hakedoshim of the world of Beriya, which is the Chabad of Beriya. [It then further descends and invests itself in Malchus of Beriya.]
- The creations of Beriya: Upon investing itself within Malchus of Beriya it created the souls and angels of Beriya.
- Also, from this level derived the Talmud that we have today.
- Comprehensible wisdom comes from Beriya: This idea is found in the Tikkunim which states that in the world of Beriya, Hashem’s wisdom shines in an intensely contracted form in order to allow the souls and angels which are limited and defined to receive from its Chabad.
- The reasons behind the laws derive from Chabad of Beriya: Thus, the Talmud, which is a field of wisdom known as Chabad derives from there, as it contains the reasons and clarifications behind the Torah laws, and all reasons and explanations derive from Chabad.
- The laws derive from the emotional attributes of G-d: However, the Halachos themselves derive from the Middos of the infinite light of G-d, such as Chesed and judgment and mercy, from which the permitted versus forbidden, and Kosher versus non-Kosher, and the obligated versus the exempt all derive.
