We\u2019re about to touch upon one of the<\/em> most esoteric subjects in all of Kabbalah — Sh\u2019virat<\/em> HaKeilim<\/em>, \u201cThe Breaking of the Vessels\u201d. It sets out to explain how it is that all the wrong, evil, and injustice we experience in this world somehow managed to derive from God\u2019s presence even though they are seemingly its antithesis. (We\u2019ll also explore the subsequent rectifying, correcting, and repairing of all that, as well as humankind\u2019s role in it, but that isn\u2019t the subject at hand now, though there\u2019s no denying the fact that simply knowing<\/em> that all wrong, evil and injustice can and will be rectified goes far to assuage our discomfort with their existence, and simply understanding that we ourselves will play a part in that bolsters our sense of our own importance.)<\/p>\n

Yet, despite the fact that it\u2019s vitally important for us to know all of that in order to shore up our faith in God\u2019s ways in this world, the actual process of Sh\u2019virat<\/em> HaKeilim <\/em>isn\u2019t actually described in Klach<\/em> Pitchei<\/em> Chochma<\/em>, just as the essential concept of Tzimtzum<\/em> wasn\u2019t actually described in the body of Klach<\/em> either as we\u2019d seen before. But, why weren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n

Well, as we\u2019ll see, knowing what that\u2019s so helps us to understand the actual makeup of Klach<\/em>. And it would do us well to explore that next.<\/p>\n
