Regarding the ark, God commanded, “And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about” 1 (‫)וְצִ פִּ יתָ אֹתוֹ זָהָ ב טָ הוֹר מִ בַּ יִת ו ּמִ חו ּץ תְּ צַ פּ ֶ נּו ּ וְעָ שִ ׂיתָ עָ לָיו זֵר זָהָ ב סָ בִ יב‬. And about the golden altar, upon which incense was burnt, “And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make thereto a crown of gold round about” 3 (‫)וְצִ פִּ יתָ אֹתוֹ זָהָ ב טָ הוֹר אֶ ת גַ ּגּ וֹ וְאֶ ת קִ ירֹתָ יו סָ בִ יב וְאֶ ת קַ ְרנֹתָ יו וְעָ שִ ׂיתָ לּ וֹ זֵר זָהָ ב סָ בִ יב‬.

Like the crown that is placed above the head, the sefirah of crown, and the crowns adorning the vessels in the Temple, represent that which is beyond—beyond the inellect in the case of the sefirah of crown, beyond the individual in the case of the king’s crown and the Divine infinite light that hovers above the Torah in the case of this parapraph. This is one of the reasons why he was called the Ba’al Shem Tov, i.e., the master of the good anem, an allusion to the crown of the good name, the infinite light of God that surrounds all of reality including our soul and thereby hovers above it and even above the Tabernacle itself.
