“The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold. ” (Psalm 45, 14)
The word Shekinah in the kaballistics writings means the presence of G-D in this world, a symbol of the community of Israel which is seen as his bride.
From the inside of the tent we see the eyes of the bridegroom who meets the eyes of the bride. The bride, who is the people of Israel, is in the desert of exile; the dress that makes her desirable and at the same time hides her from the eyes of the Beloved, is the Torah.
The Torah is a clothing interwoven with gold (we see in the picture the text of the Song of Songs microscopically painted in gold on the clothing of the Shekinah), but what is more beautiful, the dress or the body that it conceals? The body is more beautiful than the dress who hides it, so the people of Israel is more beautiful than the dress, the Torah, that is. But as the dress hides the body, the body hides the soul,which is more beautiful than the body. So the Divine Presence is the soul that hides behind the body of the people of Israel ... one inside the other.
