We will conclude by praising HaShem who has guided us through the mysteries of the creation, with words of Yeshaya ben Omotz haNovi (40), which recapitulate most of the subjects we have discussed in this sayfer:
Who measured the waters with His tread; the heavens by His hand breadth; calculated with a gauge the soil of the earth; weighed the mountains in a scale, and the hills in a balance?… Don’t you know? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Don’t you understand the foundations of the earth? Raise your eyes to the heavens and see Who created these, Who brings out their hosts by number; He calls them all by name, with great energy and power; not one is missing… Herald of Tzion, go up to a high mountain; raise your voice, news bearer to Yershola’im, shout do not fear; say to the cities of Yehudi, “Here is HaShem!” HaShem will come in strength; His power is overwhelming; His reward is with Him, and His payroll is before Him. Like a Sheppard He will graze His flock; with His arm He will gather lambs, and in His bosom He will carry; infants He will lead… A voice calls in the desert, “Make way for HaShem, make a straight path on the plains for HaShem.” Every ravine will be raised, and every mountain and hill will be lowered; the crooked will become straight, and the heights will become valleys. The glory of HaShem will be revealed, and all flesh together will see that the mouth of HaShem has spoken.

Tanchuma, KiTisa 36 writes: When Moshe was in heaven how did he know it was day and when it was night? When HaShem taught him Torah Shebichav, the written Torah, he knew it was day; when He taught him orally, the Torah Sheball Pe, the oral Torah, the Mishnah and Talmud he knew it was night.
Day and night are defined by the revolutions of the earth. The hemisphere facing the sun experiences day, the other, night. When it is evening at one spot, it is still day not too many miles to the west. If so, what relevance does day and night have in heaven? At any given moment, at every hour of the clock, it is day and night different parts of the globe.
If we are inclined to avoid this difficulty by assuming that Moshe was interested in day and night at Har Sinai, from where he came and where Israel was encamped, we still have not resolved our troubled mind. The G’morrah (Avoda Zora 3B) informs us that HaShem Himself has a – very mysterious – schedule based on the hours of day and night.

How does praying in the direction of the menorah or the Lechem haPonnim (the table of bread)? Two answer this we must understand that the divine service that we perform is not for HaShem’s benefit but for ours, as HaShem proclaimed (Psalms 15:8-15):
I will not rebuke you over your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are before Me always. I do not demand an Ox from your house; Billy goats from your pens. For all the beasts of the fields are Mine; the animals in mountains full with wildlife. I know all the birds of the mountains, and the creepers of the field are in My possession. If I were to hunger I would not tell you, for the world and its fill are Mine. Do I eat the flesh of Bulls? Do I drink the blood of Billy goats? Rather, slaughter for HaShem an offering of thanks; pay to the Highest your vows; then call Me in the day of trouble; I will save you and you will honor Me.

The mountains saw you; they trembled; the storm water passed; the depths gave forth their voice, He raised His hand high. The sun and moon stood in their place; they go to the light of Your arrows; with the gleam of the lightning of Your spear. The Ramban (on the first verse of Parshat Truma) tells us that the presence of HaShem in the Mishkon was identical to its appearance at Har Sinai. Thus it is no surprise that the light from heaven can take the form of lighting.
We need not to be concerned that Chazal call the phenomenon “fire” (and the verse in Yitro calls it “torches”), while we assert it is electricity. The law is universally acknowledged that we may not light and electrical light on Shabbat because to do so would violate the prohibition (vaYak’hel, Sh’mos 35:3).
You shall not light fire in all your dwellings on the day of Shabbat.

HaShem commanded to Aharon to light the menorah in the Ohel Moayd outside the Kodesh haKoddoshim, (Leviticus 24:3), “from evening to morning before HaShem always. Does HaShem then need the light? The entire forty years that Israel traveled in the desert HaShem provided them with light; certainly He didn’t need Israel to light his way. Rather, the menorah is evidence to all the people of the world that HaShem is imminent with Israel, for the western candle burnt miraculously for 24 hours each day and never when out.
Tosfos are troubled by the comment, “The whole forty years that Israel traveled in the desert HaShem provided them with light. “Why doesn’t the G’morrah say, more universally, “The whole world is lit, always, by HaShem’s light?” Tosfos explain that the G’morrah doesn’t mean to ask, “Did HaShem need the light that was lit in His house?”, but rather, “ even the cohanim who entered the Mishkon need the light of the menorah so that they could see, as the Mishkon had no windows? The camp of Israel was illuminated by a miraculous light for forty years. To that the Gomorrah answers that there was no need. The light served merely to show the world that HaShem’s presence was with Israel. (Shabbot 22B)
