Questions for today:
We learned about the power of our actions as they relate to the Creator’s eminence in this world. What can we learn about the worlds Creative process that can help us undersand the impact of our actions?
The Torah says: “King David ‘made’ a name”.
Some commentators explain that he made a name for himself, or for the Jewish people.
However the Zohar teaches that it’s connected to the verse that says that King David was doing charity and through that he ‘made the Creator's name’.
Sounds incredible.
Let’s begin to understand what this means.
The Torah teaches us that the creator's name, with the letters ‘Yud’ and ‘Hey’, created; the world to come, and this world, respectively.
If you show a child two apples and two apples, they connect to that. They don't understand the intellect of two plus two equals four.
That difference is similar to what we just learned.
The little letter Yud represents a level of G-dliness we're going to see in the world to come that's beyond our grasp in this world, created by the expanded letter Hey.
Let’s expand this example, to understand deeper.
When you teach a little child how to speak, you don't tell them how to shape their mouth. That specificity comes from their soul.
Similarly, the variability in this world is from the letter Hey, the expansion that's comes from inside, from the Creator.
