Friend,    With Purim right around the corner, Sefaria is busy preparing for the “Purim bump” — the increase in users who visit Sefaria to celebrate the holiday. Last year, more than 100,000 people visited the library or used the app to connect with the holiday or read along with Megillat Esther. This year we’re expecting even more.    To help with our text and tech preparations ahead of this busy time, a generous Jewish foundation is matching all gifts to the library up to $36,000.    Please give today to help us meet your learning needs!     
Ovyut denotes thickness, materiality, or darkness, as opposed to purity, clarity, and spirituality. In kabbalistic terminology, it expresses the quality of the vessel, which is the will to receive. It is considered thick and dark because it is the antithesis of the eternal divine light, the essence of which is entirely giving. A greater will to receive is regarded as having greater opacity, while a vessel that contains a lesser will to receive is regarded as being more pure. This is because the greater the will to receive that a vessel acquires, the more it is distanced from the Creator and His light and the more material and dark it becomes.
