Description

P. 87 in Raza D'Shabbos, Rav Eliyah Weintraub, zt'l's piece on Tevila L'Mikveh B'Erev Shabbos. Toveling in the mikveh is a tikkun (rectification) of the original destructive waters that Hashem created. The name Havaya is chesed (giving). The name Ekyeh indicates that Hayava will be revealed in the future, which corresponds to the mikveh. The power of the mikveh is to cleanse the powers of tumah (spiritual impurity), of death and destruction. The name of Havaya is most manifest on Shabbos, therefore all of Creation has true existence.
