Glossary of Light
A reference guide to the language that connects diamonds, Torah, and consciousness.
Yahalom
The Hebrew word for "diamond," appearing in Exodus 28:19 as one of the twelve stones in the High Priest's breastplate (Choshen Mishpat). More than a gem, Yahalom symbolizes resilience, structured light, and divine consciousness crystallized in matter.
Elohim
A divine name in the Torah often associated with the force of creation. The letters of "Elohim" (א-להים) contain within them the letters of "Yahalom" (יהלום), suggesting a deep linguistic and energetic resonance between God and the diamond.
Urim VeTumim
A mystical component of the High Priest's breastplate. Through divine light channeled via the stones, including the Yahalom, the Urim VeTumim were said to communicate sacred answers and guidance. An early divine interface of light and truth.
Choshen Mishpat
The sacred breastplate worn by the High Priest, set with twelve unique stones representing the tribes of Israel. Each stone was engraved with a tribal name and used to receive divine insight. Yahalom was one of them.
Structured Light
A concept from both physics and mysticism. In Torah terms, structured light refers to the way divine light is filtered through matter—as seen in diamonds, Hebrew letters, and sacred vessels. It reveals how spirit takes form.
Hebrew Letters
Seen in Kabbalah as vessels of divine energy. Each letter has a frequency, shape, and role in creation. The Torah was written with "black fire upon white fire," emphasizing the energy embedded in each form.
Sacred Geometry
Spiritual architecture embedded in both creation and scripture. From the structure of a diamond to the shape of Hebrew letters, sacred geometry reveals the divine intelligence underlying physical and metaphysical design.
Torah Light
The spiritual illumination that flows from divine wisdom. More than information, Torah Light is the energetic essence of the text. It nourishes the soul and reveals the structure of the universe.
Or Yahalom
Literally "Light of the Diamond." The name of our vision and philosophy. It represents the intersection of divine wisdom and natural creation—where Torah meets matter, and light becomes knowable through form.
Light Consciousness
A state of awareness rooted in divine illumination. Light consciousness allows us to perceive reality not just through logic or emotion, but through vibrational alignment with truth. Diamonds become mirrors of that light.
Gematria
The mystical system of assigning numerical values to Hebrew letters, used to reveal hidden connections between words and divine concepts. Gematria is a key interpretive method in Kabbalistic study.
Aleph
The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Silent in speech but resonant in meaning. Aleph symbolizes unity, divine breath, and the hidden source of all sound and creation.
Crystal Consciousness
A concept linking the structure of crystals—particularly diamonds—to the idea of spiritual energy storage and transmission. In Jewish thought, this parallels the role of sacred stones in channeling divine light.
Torah and Science
Two pathways toward the same truth. Where Torah reveals encoded divine wisdom, science uncovers patterns in nature. Together they reflect the unity between spiritual revelation and empirical discovery.
