== The Difference Between the First Tzimtzum and Other Tzimtzumim ==
To understand the '''reason''' for the difference between the first Tzimtzum and other Tzimtzumim, we must first understand '''what the difference''' is between them:

The Tzimtzumim (veils) in the order of Hishtalshelut (chain of worlds) are like the parable: where an intellectual concept is clothed in something completely different, which inherently has no connection to what it represents. In other words, the veil constricts the light so it is revealed in a lower level. Such a Tzimtzum is only effective when there '''already exists''' a reality. But in the Ohr Ein Sof before the Tzimtzum, there '''is no''' existence of Sefirot (and not even a source for them), therefore no Tzimtzum of this type can transform (simple) unity into multiplicity (Sefirot). In other terms: the Sefirot are a reality of '''existence''', while in the Ohr Ein Sof such a reality does not exist, nor is there a source for such a reality. For the Ein Sof to "be able to" create a reality of "existence" without any prior source, a completely different '''type''' of Tzimtzum is needed - the first Tzimtzum.
