Rejected Light
The Light is God’s bounty, the Goodness of the One, that the One wants to give all the created beings.
It is dynamic, conscious, loving.Why is it when the vessel for the light first receives it it rejects it, according to Rabbi Ashlag, the Master Kabbalist. Do we reject light too? Why do we do that? Learn with Yedidah why initially rejecting the light is a positive step for the vessel and leads to something new.

Rabbi Ashlag starts off his Introductions to the Kabbalah by considering what the full potential of a human being really is. We have both soul and body, but they come to us via very different paths. How do they complement each other? Do the events of my life have meaning? Rabbi Ashlag patiently unfolds the answers to these questions step by step from the perspective of the innermost part of Torah.
