Donate- Shechinah is source of all divine energy in worlds: The Shechinah is the first and main revelation of the infinite light of G-d to the world’s and serves as the source of all the other revelations received by each creation, as they all come from a mere glimmer of the light of the Shechinah similar to the light that comes from the sun.
- Above comprehension-The revelation requires a garment: Now, it is not possible for the worlds and their creations to receive from the actual light of the Shechinah itself and it must be received through a garment which conceals it, otherwise they would become completely nullified in their existence as the ray of the sun is nullified within the actual sun in which no light can be seen other than the sun itself.
- The Torah is the garment of concealment: Now, what is the garment that can conceal the revelation of G-d and not itself become nullified in its existence? This is the will and wisdom of G-d as is invested in His Torah and Mitzvah’s which He revealed to us and is unified with Him.
- Wisdom of G-d is one with G-d himself: The Torah comes from the wisdom of G-d which refers to the supernal wisdom which is much higher than all the revealed worlds, as He is wise but not by a known wisdom. Now, the infinite light of G-d is invested and united within the supernal wisdom and G-d and His wisdom are one.
- The Torah retains an essential unity with G-d: Now, the Torah which is G-d’s wisdom went through a gradual descent from world to world until it became invested within physical matters which are the details of the 613 commands. [Thus, the Torah even after its descent to this world still retains its essential unity with G-d. Accordingly, the Torah will not become nullified in its existence upon receiving the revelation of the Shechinah in order to conceal it for creations].
