These numbers are awe inspiring!

I heard what I thought was based on Chassidus an interpretation, but now that I studied it in Chassidus and know it to be accurate I will share this amazing amazing concept with you!

No need to thank me, just make a contribution to your favorite charity instead:)

6 represents the gross natural order, an order set by God, ever constant, which obviously is miraculous, but in of itself, it conceals God so well as to allow all the evil to exist (for evil needs to believe that nature will still provide its bounty for their heinous crimes to be contemplated and executed.)

On the other hand, we have Shabbos, a day removed from the mundane, so sublime that we may not work, no evil has a place in Shabbos!

But ultimately 7 is a limitation, for is it not a place in which there is a division between that which is holy and mundane (hence we welcome and exit Shabbos creating a havdalah barriers, distinctions, separate days, eras, spiritual and material domains, distinguishing between a higher and lower reality but the true God is infinite hence no reason that the lower and higher reality cannot merge into one.)

Hence the number eight (I find it remarkable that the number 8 if turned sideways is the symbol for infinity which is what it represents in Judaism.)

In other words, eight represents the level of Godliness – God’s essence – that sees no limitation, for the mundane is as much him as the spiritual, hence God’s ultimate desire is the merging of the spiritual into the mundane.
