Chevra haChachamot<p>“It is known that the letters of the Torah have the aspect of inner lights which are revealed according to the order of the emanation of the worlds. And the boundary of the white that encompasses the letters possesses the aspect of the encompassing lights, which are not revealed but are found in a hidden-ness, in the aspect of the encompassing light. From this we may understand that the white boundaries also possess the aspect of letters, but they are hidden letters, higher than the revealed letters.”</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://kabbalahexperience.com/white-fire/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kabbalahexperience.com/white-f</span><span class="invisible">ire/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Mazeldon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mazeldon</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jewish</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Judaism</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Torah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Torah</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Talmud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Talmud</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Midrash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Midrash</span></a></p>
