Tzimtzum, the "contraction" by which, according to Lurianic Kabbalah, God withdraws to make room for the world, prompted a fundamental debate: should it be understood literally, as a real withdrawal, or allegorically, as a mere veiling? This controversy sets certain kabbalists against Chabad Hasidism in particular, and bears on the very conception of the relationship between God and creation.
