==== Hidden and Revealed in the Name Havaya ==== The name Havaya is divided into two parts: The first two letters, Yud-Hey, form a holy name—one of the names that cannot be erased. The last two letters, Vav-Hey, are secular letters and have no holiness except that they are connected to the head of the name. The first two letters, Yud-Hey of the name Havaya, are the two stages of divine light that descends to illuminate within the world. Therefore, these two letters are called "the hidden things," from the verse "The hidden things belong to Havaya our G-d." The last two letters, Vav-Hey of the name Havaya, describe the reception of divine light by the created reality—therefore, these letters are called "the revealed things," from the continuation of the verse—"and the revealed things belong to us and to our children."
