Kabbalah
en
An exploration of the hierarchical structure of spiritual worlds in Kabbalistic cosmology: the world of thought (Briah), formation (Yetzirah), and action (Asiyah). The lecture examines how the Torah uses distinct terms—creation, formation, and making—to denote different levels of reality, and how understanding these precise distinctions resolves longstanding interpretive questions in Genesis. The infinite distance between the Absolute and our finite world is discussed as a necessary condition for the existence of creatures.
