Have you ever heard of the “Tzimtzum?” Is it “Chinese” to you? Can you explain it in simple English? Does it make any difference to your life? The Tzimtzum is one of the most important ideas in Kabbalah and Chassidus. Yet it remains so abstract for so many of us.
Not any longer.
Tonight, Rabbi Yossi Paltiel, a well known educator and teacher of Chassidus, continues on TheYeshiva.net his groundbreaking series on “the fundamentals of Kabbalah.” This is part 3 of the series and discusses the meaning of the “tzimtzum,” which is not so unlike the Black Hole in Modern Physics.
The new series by Rabbi Paltiel uses the text of one of the most famous discourses of the Alter Rebbe—the Maamar Pasach Eliyahu in Torah Or Parshas Vayeira—which revealed to the world the depth of Kabbalah as appreciated in the works of Chabad Chassidism.
This groundbreaking Chassidic Kabbalah course by Rabbi Paltiel is aired each Tuesday at TheYeshiva.net and COLLive.com.
