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.
Many of these are degenerations in the pronunciation of names that originated in other languages. Sometimes a well-known namesake with the same spelling has a markedly different pronunciation. These are known as heterophonic names or heterophones (unlike heterographs , which are written differently but pronounced the same).
He writes, "prayer is zivug (coupling) with the Shechinah. Just as there is motion at the beginning of coupling, so, too, one must move (sway) at the beginning of prayer. Thereafter one can stand still, without motion, attached to the Shechinah with great deveikut." [12]
A midrash interpreted Psalm 112:4, "To the upright He shines as a light in the darkness," to apply to the Patriarchs, "the upright," who saw the Divine Presence (Shechinah) face to face (so to speak). The midrash taught that we know this about Jacob from Genesis 35:9, which says, "God appeared to Jacob . . . and blessed him."
Normally, pronunciation is given only for the subject of the article in its lead section. For non-English words and names, use the pronunciation key for the appropriate language. If a common English rendering of the non-English name exists (Venice, Nikita Khrushchev), its pronunciation, if necessary, should be indicated before the non-English one.
Please cite sources taking the view that references to "glory" etc. are the same thing as, or have anything to do with, the hebrew word Shechinah. The typical Hebrew word used for glory -- kavod-- is a masculine noun, not a feminine one. Absent sources, a claim the two concepts are the same is original research and must be deleted as such.
