Chasidut su Genesi 16:6
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַבְרָ֜ם אֶל־שָׂרַ֗י הִנֵּ֤ה שִׁפְחָתֵךְ֙ בְּיָדֵ֔ךְ עֲשִׂי־לָ֖הּ הַטּ֣וֹב בְּעֵינָ֑יִךְ וַתְּעַנֶּ֣הָ שָׂרַ֔י וַתִּבְרַ֖ח מִפָּנֶֽיהָ׃
Abramo disse a Sarai: La tua schiava è in tua potestà, trattala come ti piace. Sarai la maltrattò, ed ella fuggì dal suo cospetto.
Baal Shem Tov
The Baal Shem Tov of blessed memory said on the verse (Gen 16:6) "Make an opening for the ark (teivah)" - one should let light flow into the word (teivah) of prayer. The verse continues, "closing up to a cubit above" -- meaning, one draws sustenance to the Shechinah from above.

Baal Shem Tov
I heard in the name of the Baal Shem Tov of blessed memory, that he explained the verse (Genesis 16:6) "Make an opening for the ark (teivah)" - one should turn the words (teivah) of Torah and of prayer into an illuminated opening, to look and see from the beginning of the world until its end.
