Machshava:

Prophecy 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Mevoh Hashe'arim

Description

The love and fear experienced in davening and learning replaces the kavanas (holy unifications) of the mekubalim (masters of the Jewish mystical tradition). We can daven (pray) to come closer to Hashem by understanding the simple words in the siddur (prayer book). When we ignites the light of our neshama (soul), then the shoresh (root) of the holiness of our animal soul returns to holiness. On the last day of Chanukah Hashem fills this world with His light. The last day is Zos (This is) Chanukah- not just in the mysterious higher worlds. By pouring all our energy into "aseh tov" (doing good deeds) the ra (evil) will disappear.
