Shekhinah (Hebrew: שְׁכִינָה‎, Modern: Šəḵīna, Tiberian: Šeḵīnā) [1] is the English transliteration of a Hebrew word meaning "dwelling" or "settling" and denotes the presence of God in a place. This concept is found in Judaism from Talmudic literature. [2] The word "Shekhinah" is found in the Bible only as a "Shechaniah", a masculine proper name.

The word Shechinah is feminine, and so when we refer to G‑d as the Shechinah, we say “She.” Of course, we’re still referring to the same One G‑d, just in a different modality. After all, you were probably wondering why we insist on calling G‑d “He.”

In contemporary Jewish discourse, the term shekhinah most commonly refers to the divine feminine, or to the feminine aspect of God — God as mother, nurturer, protector and compassionate one.

Shechinah. a Chaldee word meaning resting-place, not found in Scripture, but used by the later Jews to designate the visible symbol of God's presence in the tabernacle, and afterwards in Solomon's temple. When the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, he went before them "in a pillar of a cloud." This was the symbol of his presence with his people.

The meaning of SHECHINAH is the presence of God in the world as conceived in Jewish theology.

The Shechinah is the dwelling of G-d's presence which rested in the Holy of Holies and in all other places where G-d was present. It is similar to the soul of a human being that pervades all the organs of the body, yet its principal habitation and abode is in his brain.

Although the word "Shechinah" itself does not appear in the biblical text, it is a post-biblical term used in Jewish and Christian theology to describe the manifest presence of God dwelling among His people. The concept of Shechinah is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of God's presence with Israel.

The Shekhinah is a Talmudic concept representing God's dwelling and immanence in the created world. It was equated with the " Keneset Yisrael," the personified spirit of the People of Israel. According to a Rabbinic tradition, the Shekhinah shares in the exiles of the Jewish people.

5 天之前 · The Shechinah refers to divine guidance, not a heavenly visitor. Therefore, it has the ability to rest on one person and not his neighbor — one will benefit from a high level of providence but not the other.

Shechinah ("feminine aspect" of the Divine): The manifestation of the divine presence in this world; G-d's feminine manifestation. Who Is Shechinah, And What Does She Want from My Life? The feminine side of G-d, and the struggle for reunion. We are all divine souls, princes and princesses of light, captured within the crust of human flesh.
