“Piercing the Contraction” p: 3-4

We are saying the kav breaks through the tzimzum. The kav/line is a narrow conduit, but it is connected back to the ein sof. It breaks through the tzimzum/contraction and comes into the world.

The term, 'breaking the tzimzum/contraction' implies what? Tzimzum/contraction means the light element is removed and all that remains is a a trace.


In the world we see things in a limited way. But there is a truth about all things. A line comes from above, pierces the tzimzum/contraction and exposes the light. It breaks all barriers. It comes as light, not a worldly entity.

The essence of the kav/line speaks of G-dliness directly. The reflection of the kav already addresses how the truth will come to the world...

Even in this lowly world, where you just see world, nevertheless there is an element of light/ohr. It provides meaning and correlates it to G-dly truth.

As we say, yes, indeed the sunlight is presented in a worldly form of physical energy and it illuminates a physical world. And also Einstein noted that light also bends with gravity – it has a physical level. Nevertheless, as we said before, there remains an element of ohr/light in this phenomenon. Seeing without coming into contact with something is a spiritual phenomenon.
