The '''first Tzimtzum''', also called Tzimtzum in the way of removal, is the primary source for the formation of worlds, where Hashem, as it were, contracted the Infinite Light (Ohr Ein Sof) and left an empty space in which the worlds could come into being. It is explained that if the world had been created in the manner of cause and effect, there could not have been the formation of finite worlds, and therefore it was necessary to have a Tzimtzum in the Infinite Light, after which separate and limited worlds could come into existence. | |||
