Great lessons Gil! Todah raba!
My question: In “THE LETTERS OF RABBI HAMNUNA,” (below) אויר has only one ו.
BB’s website uses two different spellings of avir, אויר and אוויר (one ו as well as two וו’s).
We see the “Expanded Name” of ו is וו …(as well as being in the alternative spelling אוויר).
Can you explain the reasoning for this?
There seems to be a hidden nuance that I am not perceiving… maybe the usage of אוויר (two vav’s) is a modern Hebrew/corporeal/science usage, while אויר is Kabbalistic (?) and thus biblical/religious, but I couldn’t even find אויר in Torah. When speaking of “air” (Masoretic text) uses השמים/שמים, which I see the י inside of מים (water-mayim).
From The Letters of Rabbi Hamnuna: “This is designated in the following way: the letter Yod enters the word light (Ohr contains the letters Aleph- Vav- Reish, signifying the Light of Hochma), and forms the word Avir (air, containing the letters Aleph- Vav- Yod- Reish), signifying the Light of Hassadim. If the Partzuf returns to the Gadlut state, the letter Yod exits it, and it is refilled with the Light of Hochma. Consequently, Avir (air) becomes Ohr (Light).””

Wow that is an amazing answer. Very deep. I see how these courses are going to really get me moving in the higher spiritual realm. As I tell people, I am fine with being weird. Sounds funny but the definition of Weird in our dictionary is spiritually outside of the box. This is going way beyond the box. I am not talking about the box of Mem Sofit, lol.
Hi Jeane,
Yeah good question, and I see how this can be confusing.
In Hebrew words can be written with the vowels (nikkud) or without. When written without the vowel letter are added to make the word easier to read. So אֲוִיר would be used with the vowels (nikkud) or if written without them it would be אוויר.
“EMET is one of the names of the Creator.”
How many names does the Creator have and what are they?
Thank you in advance!
Zorica,
Many, many names.
We can list names we see in the Bible, but all in all, everything is the clothing of the Creator.
Just as you are Mom, also friend, also sister, maybe boss or employee, and neighbor.
So it’s all you. You don’t change, or as we say, the Light doesn’t change, but according to the vessel, the one who perceives, so is the Light called.

Question after watching the Gemetria lecture. So in the vowel class as an example you used a vav in elohim to show the word spelled without vowels. In the Gemetria lecture you did it without like it more often is seen. But with the vav, are you now changing the Gematria, so in the vowel example would that now change all the words that word is connected to. Would this give a different spiritual vibration if the word for Creator is ever used with the vav?
Jeff,
In the vowel class, this was an example to show how vowels work.
In general with this material, stick to what is presented, without letting the imagination drift too far.
You’ll see how much that will help you in the wisdom of kabbalah.
Everything we are studying is coming from the texts and lessons of the kabbalists who reached the degrees of perception of these things, that is where you will reach as well.
So when we walk into the room where there is a heart surgery going on, we can ask a lot of questions about a lot of things, but the most important is to watch the surgeon work, watch what he does, how he does, in what sequence he does, since that is what gets the result.

Hi,
The corrected state of Malchut is when it equalizes with Bina.
This enables them both to rise to Keter (above Bina).
Without Malchut, Bina can not fulfill it’s purpose.If you are in interested in further reading, I recommend these two blog posts by Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.
