Bereshit B: Chapter 3

Second chamber: Hod

Synopsis

The second chamber is located within the first. The opening to this chamber can be found in our world, deep within the caves of Machpelah of the Patriarchs in, Hebron, in the Land of Israel. In this chamber reside the souls who met with adversity and endured hardship in the physical world. Throughout their ordeals, they retained their certainty and Faith in The Creator. These souls understood the purpose of human existence as achieving spiritual growth, and therefore they thanked the Ancient and Holy One for sending them genuine opportunities for attaining that purpose.
