Term: Shekinah

DEFINITION:
In Jewish tradition, the Shekinah is the feminine aspect of God. Shekinah means shelter or dwelling place. She is the Great Mother of the universe, the Queen of Heaven. She is believed to be the angel Jacob referred to as “The angel which redeemed me from all evil.” (Genesis 48:16) Jewish mystics tell how the Shekinah was separated from her lover, God the Father, after Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. Ever since then they have been together only on Friday night, the eve of the Sabbath. They will be finally reunited when the original light of Creation returns to its source. Fortunately, every act of love, generosity and compassion brings the couple closer together. The Shekinah provides unity, peace of mind, and delights in helping all lovers.
