Learning Sefer Sha'ar Hayichud Veha'emuna with Rav Shlomo Katz

In this first shiur on Chapter 4, Rav Shlomo Katz begins exploring the concept of Tzimtzum—the Divine contraction or concealment that makes creation possible.

The Alter Rebbe teaches that Hashem’s light is infinite, but for the world to exist as something that appears separate, that light must be hidden and limited. This concealment allows for a reality that can feel independent, even though it remains completely dependent on Hashem.

Tzimtzum isn’t absence. It’s the greatest act of presence.
