Question
I’m having trouble understanding Sefirot and Partzufim. Are the Sefirot a creation? If not, how are these concepts not divisions / a multiplicity of G-d?
Answer
Though not an expert in Kabbalah, it is my clear understanding that Sfirot and Partzufim are created. Nevertheless, they should be understood as parts of an organic harmony and not as independent powers.
