Hi Rabbi, I very much enjoyed your class.
Regarding the last point about creation and giving it its color etc. I wanted to ask what would be the thought to say that its form does not depend on God, rather, how else would it exist? And why the need for the dual expression.
And if there is some reason to differentiate, what is the proof for the alter rebbe point of view?
Thanks so much
