Infinite Light


A strong light is hostile to the eyes. An intense light will burn and destroy. An immense body of light will vaporize anything, turning molecules to atoms, atoms to particles, particles to energy.

An infinite light, however, knows no bounds. It can go anywhere and enter any place. Nothing can say to infinity, "I cannot bear you! You are too powerful for me!"—for, if so, that would be a limitation on the infinite.

That is the name the Kabbalists call G‑d—the Infinite Light. No place is too small, no moment too insignificant, for the Infinite Light to belong.

Sometimes I think you enjoy being cryptic or mysterious.

Making out as if this light differs from what we might expect.

Well, it's exactly what we would expect if we read the Bible with eyes like those of Abraham.

But he always had Sarai to help him.
