Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah and Tanya

Both texts engage with shevirat-hakelim (breaking of vessels). Text 1 (Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 57:1) refers to 'פעולת הרפ"ח ניצוצין בכלים' — the action/operation of 248 nitzotzot in vessels, treating this as a process or mechanism. Text 2 (Tanya 8:10) discusses shevirat-hakelim from the perspective of how sparks of divine wisdom fell into klipot through the breaking, emphasizing the descent and contamination aspect. Text 1 appears to focus on the functional/operational dimension of nitzotzot within vessels, while Text 2 emphasizes the theological consequence of the breaking (impurity/tumah in klipot). Both acknowledge shevirat-hakelim as real, but Text 1 seems more process-oriented while Text 2 is more soteriological/mystical in focus.
