Description

A double brachah (blessing) was given to Ruth. Rachel (symbolizing revealed dimensions) versus Leah (symbolizing hidden dimensions) will ultimately be re-united. Rachel is "ikar" (essence) in this world. Shavuos has qualities of Rachel and Leah. Baal Hatanya on Written Torah vs Oral Torah. Sfas Emes: Everything is doubled on Shavuos. Rambam: Islam (physical) vs Christianity (spiritual) vs Judaism (physical and spiritual fused). Ari z"l: Leah and Rachel lived before Torah was given so they couldn’t be joined.
