Previously, the Alter Rebbe explained that the soul is a “piece” of G-d.

His name, Havaye, is a label by which we refer to Him, but also connotes the manner of His expression; how we relate.

Well G-d created ten “garments” by which He expresses Himself and manages the creation.

Each letter of Havaye, His name, is an expression:

1. The thorn on the yud is His will, because it is the tag or kesser of yud.

2. The yud is chochma.

3. The hei is binah.

4. The vov are the the six emotional characteristics, or middos.

5. The latter hei is malchus.

The soul too has these ten “garments.” They’re called sfiros, or kochos hanefesh (soul powers).
