Questions for today:
we are learning of how through the Torah and Mitzvos we can access Infinite Divinity. Isn't the entire world a finite access to an infinite Creator?
We learned yesterday that there are two types of kindness; there is a measured worldly kindness, and there's an infinite divine kindness.
Within the torah as well, there is the aspect that is an unrestrained revelation from the Creator, and also the fact that it's given to us in small manageable bites.
It's important to distinguish between this and what we learned in book two about the divine concept of 'tzimtzum'.
That lesson teaches how the Creator has the power to 'reduce revealed Divinity' so that it becomes absorbable and creates a tiny finite world.
Our lesson here, of the Torah being given in manageable parts is different.
It's not that G-dliness is being 'diminished'. It's unrestricted G-dliness being provided through things that are measured; the size of tefillin, the time shabbat starts, etc.
