Q: How does dew symbolize Divine Revelation?

ABSTRACT

A commentary on the Song of Songs.

A: Dew, unlike rain, does not depend upon evaporation from the ground below. Thus dew is symbolic of the gift of Divine Revelation that does not require arousal from below; for it comes from such a hidden and transcendent source that no effort of created beings can possibly reach.

BIO
Born and raised in the USA, Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh received an MA in mathematics from the Belfer Graduate School of Science in New York City in 1965.

After making aliya to Israel and studying for several years in yeshivot in Jerusalem, he married and moved to Kfar Habad, where he lives with his family.

Rabbi Ginsburgh is Rosh Yeshiva of Od Yosef Hai, near Joseph's tomb in Shkhem. He also teaches Hasidism in Israel and the diaspora and is the Rosh Kollel of Kollel Menuha Rahel in Hebron. Rabbi Ginsburgh's teachings on Hasidism are published in English and Hebrew by Gal Einai in Jerusalem. His system is based on the interrelation and flow among the five fundamental Torah-oriented topics of art and music, mathematics/natural sciences, psychology of mind ("light shining to oneself"-the service of meditation), psychology of the heart ("light shining to others"-the rectification of character), and sociology/government.
