Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.
Chapter 5
Mishnah 1c
The fact that physical Creation is imbued with holiness is hinted at by the ‘for with the “yud” and the “hei” G-d fashioned the worlds’ Yeshiyahu (Isaiah) 26:4. With these two letters He created the world and the World to Come.
The letter “yud”, is the instrument through which He created the World to Come. It is a place of holiness and the Divine Presence, appropriately symbolized by the tenth letter, “yud.”
G-d created this world through the letter
“hei.” Since G-d is One, the world He created will in some way reflect G-d’s unity. On the other hand, the material world is very different from G-d and therefore it must have the ability to have multiple, separate components.
