Samech Vov - 5 Iyar 5786: 3 views of creation: early Kabbalists, RM"C, and the Alter Rebbe 26 04 22

Samech Vov - 5 Iyar 5786: The view of the early Kabbalists - creation is done through Kesser which is as primordial as G-D Himself. The view of the RM"C - only G-D Himself I is primordial (קדמון) therefore only He (עצמות) can create. The Alter Rebbe resolves the difficulties of both views by innovating that creation is done by אור אין סוף which carries the power of the Source because of its (the Light's) ביטול - אור מעין המאור 26 04 22
