Machshava:

Chinuch 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Chovas Ha'talmidim

Description

It's very difficult to get to ahavas (love of) and yiras (fear of) Hashem through the intellect alone. We must work on avodas Hashem (Heavenly service) after learning Torah. We should try to turn our Torah into tefillah (prayer). Chochmah is connected to our ego. An awakening of ahavas and yiras Hashem takes place in our emotions - even against our will. Our behaviour in a group is influenced by our emotions.
