Divine Letters: The Energies of Creation Explained

Kabbalah 101: Quick Insights

In today's exploration of Tanya, we delve into the profound concept that the 22 Hebrew letters are not just symbols but the very energies that shaped our universe. Each letter holds a divine essence, a spark of creation that resonates through time and space. When God uttered, "Let there be," it was a powerful declaration that brought forth existence from nothingness—a miraculous act that surpasses any human creation. As we reflect on this divine creativity, we confront the skepticism of those who equate God's miracles to mere human handiwork. Their misunderstanding lies in the comparison of "something from something" to the awe-inspiring act of "something from nothing." The splitting of the sea, while remarkable, is merely a glimpse into the greater miracle of creation itself. This chapter encourages us to recognize that the very words that brought forth the heavens continue to energize our lives today. Join us in celebrating this extraordinary connection between the Creator and His creations, a relationship that is as vibrant and dynamic as the letters that initiated it all.
