Quest for the Grail

“In the folk tales that the world tells, there are many hidden things and very lofty matters.” (Rebbe Nachman of Breslov)

The Grail represents the sefira Malchut: the cup, the container allowing the Divine Presence to reveal itself in the world.

“Quest for the Grail” is called “Chipus A’har HaGavia HaKadosh” in Hebrew.
חיפוש אחר הגביע הקדוש
Gematria = 1118
= Gematria of the Shema Israel:
“Listen, Israel: YHVH is our Elohim, YHVH is One!”
(Deuteronomy 6:4)
שְׁמַע, יִשְׂרָאֵל: יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה אֶחָד

To find the Grail is to unite the Spiritual and the Material, Heaven and Earth, Man and Woman, Thoughts and Actions, Transcendence and Immanence, YHVH and Elohim.

YHVH is One

“E’had” (“One”)
