Description

Hashem's light permeates all Creation. Hashem used tzimtzum (constriction of Divine Light) to allow for the existence of free will. Dispute between Vilna Gaon and Chassidim over the nature of tzimtzum. How an object such as the Western Wall can possess holiness. Differences in the intensity of light absorbed by different groups of people. The four worlds in kabbalistic (mystical) thought described in layman's terms. Tzimtzum also occurs within our soul.
