Machshava:

Purim 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Kedushas Levi

Description

Tension between Kedushas Levi and his father-in-law. The difference between “saying” there is a G-d and knowing it. The Kedushas Levi and the Chasam Sofer meet for the first time. Story of Kedushas Levi dancing in shul before davening (praying). Torah from Parshas Bereishis: A mitzvah done without love for and fear of Hashem does not “have wings”. The conflict between love for Hashem and realizing the lack in our service. Gevurah (strictness) and fear of Hashem go hand-in-hand with Chessed (loving-kindness) and love for Him. Hashem loves us no matter what we have done. Every good thing a Jew does, gives pride to G-d.
