The Kabbalah of Snow

"It says in the Zohar that snow is beneficial to both spirit and matter, body and soul of the human being.  When it snows it means that there is an element of Divine energy being bestowed upon us from heaven.  It blankets the earth and allows us to experience, if we're open to it, a higher form of wisdom.

Snow is the concept of explaining knowledge in metaphor.  Its cosmic significance is this:  To understand the process of how G-d created the universe, G-d could not allow the borders of divinity and spirituality to just flow ceasefully and annihilate the boundaries of existence.  G-d had to contain it, and the way He contained it is reflected in snow.  

The mystique of snow is precisely because of its dual quality of heaven meeting earth, water meeting land. Next time you look at the snowflakes gently dropping from heaven, blanketing earth in its white embrace, remember that you are witnessing a kiss-the kiss of the Divine and the mundane."
