In The Cave Of Hillel



This is the torah we learned from the tzaddik (ben porat yosef) Shimon ben Miriam, may we merit to dance at his chuppah soon. (amein!) From Likutey Halachot - Hilchos Hashkamas Haboker halacha gimel:

'א)'יתגבר כארי לעמד בבקר שיהא הוא מעורר השחר
'Be as strong as a Lion that you will awake the dawn'

According to the torah "Vayasev Elochim", see there (Likutey Moharan, b'simman 62):

It is explained there, that there is a difference between questions. There are questions that man can understand and explain, and there are those we can not. On this was said in (avot perek bet): "ודע מה שתשיב לאפיקורוס". "And know what to answer the heretic".

In truth Hashem Yisbaruch has limited 'human sekel' and what it can understand. 'HU mitzvah gedolah' It's mitzvah gedolah to sharpen the sekel to understand completely. About this it has been said "know what to answer the heretic". And know the only way to sharpen the sekel is by solely relying on emunah.

But there are questions that are impossible for human mind to understand and explain, and only in the future time will the answer revealed. It is forbidden for a man to ponder, and anyone that relies on sekel and casually ponders them... about this it's been said in (mishleyBet :19): "כל באיה לא ישובון"... "and all who come to her(sekel) do not return, nor do they attain the paths of life". Because all these questons are forbidden to contemplate. On these we only can stand on Emunah, and even questions that we think we can understand, Because on this kind of question it is forbidden to rely on your sekel, and only stand on emunah and even the questions that there are answers for, just know sometimes the way of understanding is blocked. And we do not know how to answer them,"heresy is grabbing" etc. And this heresy it is for everyone according to their level or connection to Hashem and emunah we can either understand a little or a lot, because we need serve Hashem with both our yeizters etc. 'And that is a post of it's own'

And truly, if we know, really know with a full heart "that all the world is His" (Hashem's) Ein Milvado, and that HaKodosh Baruch Hu, is standing near in the time of tefilla,'when ever we come to him with a full heart' surely we would pray with excitement and enthusiasm and inspiration and fervor, and would pray precisely, and focus our words. But it is precisely because we do not believe this, we aren't praying with enthusiasm and without focus. All of this is coming because our knowledge is covered, and there is in the heart an aspect of meloiket... aspect (hosea yud:2) "חלק לבם"..."Their hearts have become detached [from Hashem]; now they will become desolate without hope.", this is the aspect of questions that are coming because the sekel defective, and continue til we do not how to answer the heretic in our own hearts. But do not despair there is a tikun and blei nader i'll post it motzei Shabbos.


Ka lakavod l'chem to all those who have given thus far for all the help please remember kimcha d' pischa it's a great miztvah to help those who have no way to make the seder Hashem's Blessings to all a kosher and joyful pesach.

Gut shabbos
