The Inner Dimension of the Torah
Question
What is the inner dimension of the Torah? Who coined this expression?
Answer
I don’t know who coined it. The assumption underlying the expression is that the esoteric dimension is the Torah’s inner foundation—the deeper reason for the commandments and the spiritual root of events.
Discussion on Answer
That’s the accepted meaning of the expression: Kabbalah, the esoteric teachings.
If I understood correctly, “inner dimension” means something like the reason for the commandment—something in the area of Sefer HaChinukh and the like. Not the parts of Kabbalah?
