Kaere, you are right. But there's a bit more.
A short definition from Chabad.org:

Shekhinah, Malkhut
Translation
God's Presence, Kingdom
Description
The Shekhinah is a Talmudic concept representing God's dwelling and immanence in the created world. It was equated with the "Keneset Yisrael," the personified spirit of the People of Israel.
According to a Rabbinic tradition, the
Shekhinah shares in the exiles of the Jewish people.
Therefore, the redemption of the people of Israel is inextricably linked to the remedying of an alienation within
God him/herself, introducing a bold new element into traditional Jewish Messianic eschatology.
It is through the
Shekhinah that humans can experience the Divine.
The
passivity of the
Shekhinah is often emphasized (equated with its femininity), as the recipient of forces from the higher
Sefirot.
Human Imagery (Primordial Man)- Mouth
- The Shekhinah is often portrayed as a bride or princess whose male lover is the composite of the nine upper sefirot, represented by the prince/bridegroom Tiferet.
