Page 17. Gevuros (tzimtzum) is necessary for creation to happen. The Mashal of Voice (kol) is used to explain this point, Question: why is this example for Tzimtzum used, rather than the tzimtzum of Sechel and Middos etc. Suggested answer.

Page 16-17. Kol, voice that comes from the heart (according to Chassidus) has a source in a level where it is a ‘Harkava Pshuta’ which makes it ‘Ain Sof’. From that level it would be impossible to create actual individual sounds without Tzimtzum, This is the Tzimtzum of the letter Aleph.
