Hence we learn that the term Yichud alludes to God’s sovereignty and omnipotence, to the fact that only His existence is imperative and that He alone is the Creator, and to the conjunction of Creator and creation (or, better said, it alludes to the eventual undoing of creation).
We’ll turn to the ideas of right and wrong, free-will, to God’s reason for having created the universe, and to the eventual undoing of all wrong which we alluded to above (all of which have tremendous ethical and theological ramifications) in the next few entries.
