Description

Based on the sefer Doleh Umashkeh by Rav Yaakov Horowitz z'l, Rosh Yeshivah of Ofakim. Trying to understand the unusual customs of the Simchas Beis Ha'sho'evah celebrations. The separate song of Ba'alei Teshuvah (returners to observance). Divided lower and upper waters. How is it that Hashem's kingship is revealed through water? Drowning and losing oneself in the waters of the lower world. Raising everything in this (lower) world to the upper world, where everything is clear. The two components of a Jew's task. Who is more able to reveal Hashem's honor - the faithful servant, or the penitent rebel? In the 13 traits of mercy, what does the second "Hashem" do for us? Different types of circular dances.
