  I’m listening to Basi Legani and I’m trying to flesh out in my mind the function of  “or”. If my understanding is correct then “or” is there to reveal essence but is not essence itself. An extension of essence also not. Is the big chidush  that even in the lowest of places we will still see revelation of essence. But, essence would be there regardless whether we see it or not. However chassidus comes to teach us that we can connect, I.e. see (can only see with light) G-ds essence in or especially in the darkest of times and places?

  Now, in the last stages of the war against

  Darkness, the most hidden and precious "jewels", chassudus is revealed. 

  Parallel to this, the country of Israel has nuclear weapons, the ultimate weapon that could send Gaza back to the stone age. 

  Yet, they chose not to use the ultimate weapon but rely on foot soldiers and pay a heavy daily price for that

  "Tzivos Hashem" is the Yidden, especially

  In war. 

  The Rebbe organized another Tzivos Hashem around 1980 by enlisting children.

  At Har Sinai we finally came up with an acceptable guarantor by offering the children as guarantors.

  So Adults rely on, benefit from, and "hide behind" the Jewish children. 

  It'll be the Jewish children that will bring the Gyula.

  So Jewish adults "hide behind" Jewish children. SPIRITUALLY. 

  Lehavdil, Hamas "hides behind" their children, but, on the dark side,  PHYSICALLY!

  The Schechina started down here, and

  Went up 7 levels cuz of each generation's sin. Then Avraham Avinu turned it around and started to bring it back down level by level with 6 further tzaddikim. Ending with Moshe Rabbeinu.  

  We have no notice that the Schechina ever went back up after that. So its here like at the starting point before it began its first ascent.

  Yet.....we are in golus. In golus with the schechina? With 85% of yidden not shomer Shabbos?
