Tanya for the 23rd of Sivan, כ׳׳ג סיו‪ן‬ Daily Tanya

    • Spirituality

Before their creation, nothing whatsoever existed other than Him. After their creation, however, one might erroneously conclude that there now exists something in addition to Him—the various worlds and their denizens. And were this to be so, this would constitute a change in G-d’s absolute unity, heaven forbid. The verse therefore anticipates this by saying, “I, Havayah, have not changed.”
