In today’s Tanya portion for Ute Sivan, we dive deep into the concept of Hashem and Elokim, exploring the intricate relationship between the Creator and creation. Chapter six delves into the idea of God’s infinite transcendence as Hashem and His manifestation in the laws of nature as Elokim. It’s not just about God energizing the world, but rather understanding that the world itself is a manifestation of God. Just like a father secretly funding his child’s summer camp job, the world may think it’s independent, but in reality, it’s all sustained by the Creator. It’s like a child covering their eyes, thinking they’re invisible. But just as the child’s actions are seen by the parent, the world is continuously sustained by Hashem. So next time you look at nature, remember it’s not just energized by God, it is God. Stay tuned for more insights on Hashem and Elokim in tomorrow’s portion.
