Chapter 65 Episode 2

Rabbi Shulman continues the Maharal’s discussion (פרק סה) of praising Hashem with the word “אָז,” explaining how “אָז” signals transcendence beyond the natural world of “seven” and even beyond time. He develops the Midrashic image that Israel “clothes” Hashem כביכול with a “חלוק של תפארת,” since honor functions like a garment, and the Torah’s expressions of עֹז are engravings on that robe. Rabbi Shulman then connects the “tearing” of this garment not primarily to the חטא העגל but to the חורבן בית המקדש, when Hashem’s splendor in the lower world is diminished.
