Editing Sefiras HaBinah (section)

==== Chochmah and Binah ====
Binah is part of the mochin; its role is to develop and expand in detail the divine flow drawn from the sefirah of Chochmah. Chochmah is connected to the concept of a flash of lightning, where the intellect is understood in one flash, while in Binah there is expansion and contemplation of the details of the haskalah.

There is an element of tzimtzum and limitation in drawing down the light to Binah, because while in Chochmah the main thing was the light and the vessel was batel to the light, in Binah the vessel is primary and the light is secondary.
