Vessels

Vessels Isaac Luria In the beginning the Creator of the Universe, deciding to make a world, drew in the divine breath in order to make room for the creation coming into being. Into this enlarged space the Creator then set vessels, and into the vessels poured the brilliance of divine light. The light was too brilliant for the vessels, however, and unable to contain it they shattered all over the universe. Since that time the work of human beings has been to go about the universe picking up the shards of creation, trying to mend and transform the vessels by refashioning them in a work called "the repair of the world."
