    Could it be that the darkness is really the closeness to the source of light (Sagi Nohor). The stronger one feels the darkness the closer one actually is to the source of light ie closer to GOD.

    I started listening to your shiur on chanukah Yasher koach!

    You mentioned that the אש that avraham took was probably a flintstone because bringing along fire doesn’t seem probable. I once saw somewhere that Bedouins, apparently until today, when traveling through the desert put a coal into some kind of a hollowed-out husk of a very slow burning plant, and they are able to travel for long stretches of time with the fire protected from the wind as it slowly burns the inside, anytime they need a fire they take out the coal blow onto kindle etc. And return the cpal.

    If this method has been around for forever it would explain why אש could mean כפשוטו.

    Thank you again for this and for all that you do.

    Tzimtzum was done at a point in time

    And thats what we can see as we look backwards in time when we see black holes. The picture of creation of black holes just reaches us now.

    Tzimtzum is also a creation

    And takes up (ruchnious) space

    The teacher of a deep concept to children must conceal

    Most of the matter so the recipients can understand anything.

    So too, Hashem conceals most of Himself amd His essence so that we can understand anything

    Only one mitzvah done outdoors?

    Going to the Beis Hamigdash is outside. Sending away the mother bird is outside. Leaving all the agricultural tithes is outside as are all the mitzvos regarding agriculture.  Not plowing with 2 different types of  animals. The list goes on......

      Yesterday the phrase was "outdoors". Today it became "in the rishus harabbin/large public thoroughfare.
