The Hidden Light

At the beginning of time there shone a light called the "Ohr Haganuz."

God hid that light away after 36 hours but there are still times when you can still catch its glow.

Backing Up Emotions with Fear of Hashem

Ein Aya Shabbat Chapter B Paragraph 159

Reish Lakish said: What is referred to by the pasuk (Yeshaya 33:6): “And it shall be the belief of your times, the power, the salvations of, the wisdom of, and the knowledge”? “ The belief of” refers to the Order of Zeraim (agricultural laws); “your times” refers to the Order of Mo’ed (the holidays); “the power” refers to the Order of Women (family law); “the salvations of” refers to the Order of Nezikin (monetary law); “the wisdom of” refers to the Order of Kodashim (laws of the Temple); “and the knowledge” refers to the Order of Taharot (laws of purity). Even so, “fear of Hashem is its storehouse” (ibid.)
