Deep Dive Ditty

Darker and Darker

jyungar February 11, 2025

Darker and Darker

In this deep dive ditty I wanted to present the objective scholarship on the biblical text regarding the plague of darkness and the struggle with understanding the two expressions of the curse: “darkness and thick darkness” .

In these essays we will move from the simple meaning of the text, its context, midrashic embellishments, the kabbalistic notions of darkness and its relationship to the darkness before the creation of light and finally the Hassidic expressions of the darkness within the human soul.
