== Bodies of Angels == Unlike the bodies of physical creations, the body of angels is composed only of the elements of fire and wind. The source of this is in the Ramban, who wrote "that angels have a body from the element of simple wind and from the element of simple fire." Chassidic teachings explain that the intention is to the '''spirituality''' of these elements. The concept is that '''all''' creations were created in the form of body and soul; the soul in every creation is that which thinks and feels, while the body is inanimate. However, the body of each creation is suited to the level of its soul: the body of physical creations includes all four elements (earth, water, wind and fire), while the body of angels is only from the elements of fire and wind - and even then, not from the elements themselves but from their spirituality.
