[This is why the letter alef of the word, vayikra is written with a smaller letter,44 ‫ויקרא‬, alluding to tzimtzum.45 This is because in the avodah of (sacrifices, since the theme of sefer Vayikra is) sacrifices, the Divine light elicited (“vayikra,” a term denoting “calling” and “drawing down”46) is minor compared with the illumination generated by the Shechinah’s indwelling in the Mishkan.] 43 See Rambam, “Hilchos Beis Habechirah,” ch.
