Machshava:

Galut 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: No?am Elimelech

Description

A personal galus (exile) achieves personal atonement. Once we get used to something, we get bored of it. We are constantly yearning for those things that are out of our reach. The attributes through which we describe Hashem's presence in this world do not deny Hashem's oneness. Hashem appreciates our mitzvos whether we do them for the sake of Heaven or in a state of chaos. When we daven (pray), learn Torah, and do mitzvos, we give strength and life to the Shechinah.
