T36 (Tinyana) PNC - When a Sefer Is Made — Coverings and Concealments

Beginner: As soon as a sefer is made from very lofty and wondrous Torahs, the moment those Torahs become a sefer, there are coverings and concealments upon them — the pure and wondrous light is partly veiled, and the pages and binding cover them, and so on. Intermediate: Sefer = chipuy. The act of binding (kerichah) materializes ohr nefla and partly conceals it; ipso facto, every published Breslov sefer is read against this caveat — including LM itself. Cf. Tinyana T32 (genizah-by-design); Tinyana T28 (lo nittan likhtov); Tinyana T30 (sefer's tears protect). The PNC reading: the kerichah is itself part of the kli — without it the ohr could not survive olam ha-zeh; the price is partial concealment that requires a tzaddik or chaver to peel back.
