Chabad Research Unit – www.chabad.research.net – cru@lubavitchuk.com In this respect, a parable can sometimes be more concealing than a riddle, like the riddle which Sampson addressed to the Philistines: ‘from the strong came something sweet’3. In the same way, he says, the inner dimension of Torah, which in itself is highly esoteric, makes the revealed dimension - the Talmud and halachah - more meaningful, in that through adding the inner dimension one comes to Awe of G-d. He made a wager with the Philistines that if they could solve his riddle - ‘from the eater comes food, and from the strong comes sweetness’ - he would give them a large gift, and if not, they would give a large gift to him. so that he does not know the difference between Arur Haman (cursed is Haman) and baruch Mordechai (Blessed is Mordechai).’5 Commentators explain that these two phrases in Hebrew have the same numerical value (gematria). A person might do wrong: but the deeper meaning of his error is that he should repent, which he or she does by reaching the Essence beyond the distinction between good and evil. Rabbi Shneur Zalman continues with explanation of the nature of Torah, that it expresses Wisdom of the world of Emanation, in which is 'enclothed' the radiance of the Ein Sof. One should realise that the revealed Torah, the laws explained in the Talmud, constitute a parable, enabling one to have intimations of the radiance of the Infinite, Ein Sof. A person might study the Torah laws on a particular topic and think this is the whole story, without realising that they are the gateway to the radiance of the Infinite. Rabbi Shneur Zalman2 points out that when used for human consumption, salt - which does not have an agreeable taste in itself - brings out the taste in the meat.
