Light (Kabbalah)
Kabbalah
The
will to receive
in an emanated being is called a
vessel
, while the
shefa
it receives is called light (
Talmud Eser HaSefirot
, v. 1, Q & A 2).

Thus, all of these coarse garments in which the Torah is clothed in this world are not lacking in value relative to the
light
that is clothed in
the Torah
, but indeed the opposite, as explained.
Talmud Eser HaSefirot, Introduction 385
Furthermore, the coarse garments of our Torah of
Asiya
are not, heaven forbid, lacking in value relative to the
light
that they clothe. On the contrary, the importance
of these garments
is infinitely higher, from the aspect of their ultimate rectification, than all of
the Torah’s
pure garments in the supernal worlds.
Talmud Eser HaSefirot, Introduction 383
138. However,
one
should know that although the distance between the garments of the Torah that is in this world and the garments
of the Torah
of the world of
Atzilut
is beyond measure, as mentioned above. However, the Torah itself – that is to say, the
light
in the garments – does not change in the slightest from the Torah of
Atzilut
to the Torah of this world. That is alluded to in the verse, “I the Lord change not…” (
Malachi
3:6).
Talmud Eser HaSefirot, Introduction 382
The same is true in supernal matters, as concealment and revelation have a relationship with each other, like a wick and the flame that grasps it.
When a layer of
concealment is rectified, the
light
that is revealed from that
rectification is
related to the type of concealment. This revealed
light
is attached to
that concealment
like a flame
grasping
a wick. Remember this.
Talmud Eser HaSefirot, Introduction 376
However, when he merits revealed providence and the aspect of repentance out of love, when his intentional sins become like merits for him, the very coarse and bitter garments of all of the intentional sins and errors in which he had stumbled from the time that he had been under the concealment of
God’s
countenance are now removed. They are clothed in the aspect of garments of
light
and mitzva and merits, because those coarse garments in themselves have been transformed into merits, as explained previously (#section 107#)…
Talmud Eser HaSefirot, Introduction 406
If, however,
a person's
faith is incomplete, God forbid, and he engages in the Torah and service only because God commanded him to study, it has already been explained above that through such Torah
study
and service the
light
his service
contains will not be revealed at all, for his eyes are impaired and they transform the
light
into darkness, like a bat, as stated above
in section 15.
This kind of engagement
in Torah
has already left the domain of a maidservant of holiness…
Talmud Eser HaSefirot, Introduction 120
The reason is that through the
light
of this kindness Israel draws forth the
light
of supernal
Ḥokhma
that is revealed and enclothed in this
light of
Ḥesed
that Israel drew forth. This
light of
Ḥokhma
is the mystical meaning of the verse: “And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord” (Isaiah 11:2), which is said about the King Messiah…
