Are We Infinite?

A forum thread asks three words: "Are we infinite?" Nearly everyone answers yes. Rav Yaakov Shepherd and Eric look at what an old kabbalah book, Shomer Emunim by Rabbi Yosef Ergas, actually says about it, and the answer is more interesting than yes or no: nothing broke off from the Infinite, like a candle lit from a candle, the first flame loses nothing, and yet there is a second flame giving real light.
