He contracted His light to bring out the element of din/judgement.

And what is this contrction/tzimtzum? The infinite light (ohr ein sof) is rooted in the essence. And it is obvious that this is its nature. All things exist, not by virtue of their own existence, and making themselves, but rather there is a Godly truth that makes each thing and gives it a place to be. This is what is seen in light.

The contraction is that the presence of the essence is being concealed, and what the light is representing becomes the focus of attention. And this allows for the further development of things.


When you have essence you have one reality, but when essence does not express itself, then many places and qualities can be differentiated – this is the element of din/judgement, where things have their place and limit.


We can observe an entire panorama at a glance – we see it not as a presence, but rather from the perspective of its Source. We see it in ohr/light. We see it from a reality perspective. And now empty space is not empty, but rather filled with the content that the Source is giving it.


It is the contraction/tzimtzum that brings about the revelation of space and all that it contains.
