Machshava:

Prophecy 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Mevoh Hashe'arim

Description

Describing his grandfather, the Kozhnitzer Maggid. The existence of schools for nevi'im (prophets). The work required to be able to accept nevu'ah. Nevi'im never revealed the entire extent of their prophecy to Bnei Yisrael. The essence of the navi is his d'veikus (attachment) to Hashem, which enables him to receive ru'ach hakodesh (holy inspiration). "Ohsee tzvivah Hashem" Hashem commanded ME (and those are things the navi may never have shared with others). Neither the navi nor the tzaddik (righteous person) are "about miracles." Purifying our physical lives. The presence of Shabbos during the six days of the week. Removing the barrier between the holy and the unholy.
