Editing Man (Manna) (section)

== In Toras HaChassidus ==
The shoresh of the Man is in the pnimiyus of Chochma Ila'ah.

The reason that whatever they wanted to taste in the Man could be tasted was because the spiritual source of this bread was so high that it was abstract from any particular taste or color, and therefore one could taste whatever they wanted in it even when it descended below.

Chassidus explains that the Man didn't fall on Shabbos because its entire purpose was pnimiyus'dike hashpa'ah, and on Shabbos there is an aliyah of the pnimiyus of the worlds to their source and shoresh, so the hashpa'ah of Man couldn't occur on Shabbos.

In general, the Man is like Torah, which is 'bread from heaven' and has no waste. More specifically, it is like pnimiyus haTorah, which compared to nigleh d'Torah is more refined, and moreover, it is specifically like the more elevated part of pnimiyus haTorah - the mochin that are above connection to middos.
