The Big Bang and Tzimtzum
Question
eol.co.il/articles/1576
What do you think of the article, and can one suggest, from a Jewish perspective, that before the Big Bang and/or beyond it there is the Infinite, blessed be He? And is there any meaningful sense to the concept of tzimtzum?
Answer
I don’t believe in specifically Jewish proofs at all, and especially not on topics like these. If you want to identify the Big Bang with tzimtzum — be my guest. The gates of interpretation have not been locked.
