Questions for today:
We learned that existence is a result of, and therefore a parallel to, G-d’s emanation in the world. How do we see this?
Yesterday we learned how the four-letter name of the Creator shows us how the physical world is formed. Today we see how that's exactly parallel to the human experience.
The person begins not by thinking - but with 'the capacity' to think. This is hinted to, with a tiny letter ‘Yud’.
Then you have the letter ‘Hei’ which has a linear area which implies the expansion of thinking internally. It also has depth, which implies how that thought descends to create love and fear - the ability to have an impact in the world around us.
Then you have the 'vov' and the 'hey' which imply the actual study of Torah and the observance of physical Commandments
