Refutation (3). Three types of Tzimtuzm: 1) Tzimtzum HaRishon- Siluk, SHinui Hamehus. 2) Tzimtzumim of Hishtalshelus- Miut. 3) Parsa- through the screen but a new Mehus. Center of each world: Oros and Keilim- Beis Hamikdash; Livushim and Heichalos- Chitzoniyus and Klipa of each world.

Refutation of the initial answer: it hides much more than it reveals and therefore cannot (really) be called “Gilui” (2). Three rules of “Etzem” and Gilui. Every Tzimtzum is two Tzimtzums: 1) removing the Ohr Haoleh AL Kulana. 2) Miut (hischalkus) of the Chitzoniyus HaOhr.

Refutation of the initial answer: it hides so much more than it reveals it can hardly be called Gilui (1). Words: Etzem- In relationship with itself (only). Gilui- to another (and the “other” gets it) Yesh- INDEPENDENT being. Ohr- A light that is about reflecting it’s source. Ha’arah- a light that is about revelation to…

Attempted answer: the Tzimtzum allows the two opposites of Havaya and Elokim (Ohr and Keli, Guf and Neshama etc.) to meet altogether.

Havaya and Elokim are opposites (2). Havaya- Ohr (light). Elokim- Kelim (vessels). The opposites: Ohr: Giluy, Dvaikus, Pshitus, Bli Gvul. Keli: Helem, Havdala, Hischalkus, Gvul.

Havaya and Elokim are opposites (1). Havaya- infinite. Elokim- Finitude.

Knowing Hashem and going out of Mitzrayim- the connection.

Page 124. How there could be כפירה, כחשו בהוי’ ולומר לא הוא? The answer is that זה לעומת זה עשה האלוקים. In קדושה there is הארה דהארה or שערות this is true of קליפה also. The שערות of קדושה are אלקא דאלקייא. The שערות of אלקא דאלקייא are כפירה.
