Shekhina

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Shekhina

In Judaism, the worldly presence of God, sometimes conceived of as a divine light. It is said that the Shekhina descended on the Tabernacle and on Solomon's Temple, though it was one of the five things lacking in the Second Temple of Jerusalem. There is an affinity between the Shekhina and the Holy Spirit; though the two are not identical, both signify divine immanence, are associated with prophecy, can be lost due to sin, and are connected with the study of the Torah.
