A Kabbalistic Moment - Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I think what we're going to do is go into the uh we'll do some of the more Kabbalistic style class. The world is made of light, light energy. Light energy becomes matter. This is a fact in physics. Every physicist will tell you that light energy ultimately becomes matter. In the Kabbalah, we also say the same exact thing. That God emits light which is called either or Rishon or it's this primordial light this primordial light that God emits and from that light God filters out that light to create the physical world. So, the world's really made of filtered out light. Now, I can show you an example if if you look at this uh if you look at this stender here. So, you see the shadow of my hand on the stender? So, what I'm doing is filtering out light. That image of my hand on the stender is where the light isn't. It's I filtered out that light and that's filtered out that light and that's created an image. It's the same thing with the physical world. The physical world is made out of the filtered light of God. That God has filtered out light for there to be a physical world. If God were to put more light, this room would disappear. Okay, it would start with the minerals. So, first your tables, all these wood tables would land on your lap. Cuz there would be no mineral of the metal holding up your table. If we if we further turned up the light
