Hey Barditchev, I never saw this hemshech. Thank you and Dov.

I have a question for you.

In the context of Teshuva the seforim all talk about התקרבות אל ה'. Is that a “feeling” one gets of being close to HaShem or is it something more real/tangible?

Thank you.

Ovadia

The extent and quality of the relationship you end up with (with anybody, not just Hashem) depends upon what you you put into it.

If I connect with my wife mainly as my personal candy machine, I get a relationship with a candy machine. Wow....profound...meaningful...satisfying...not.

Same l'havdil with Hashem. He can be my personal candy machine, sometimes I gotta pay for it, sometimes for free....still, all He is to me is my machine. OK, the machine has my name on it...but it's still basically a machine. He didn't make life to be that way! Maybe that's the way it is for malochim and for the stars, sun, and moon ("koach ugvurah nosan bohem...") - but not for us humans (yeah, the creatures that drink Woodford, as Reb b would put it.. ;D). For us there is a real G-d there! He took us out of 'beis avodim' - slaves are like machines! But now, we are out of beis avodim because b'ni b'chori Yisrael! We are His kids now! (so darshens the Sfas Emess on those p'sukim)

So: we read the 13 middos and see just Who this G-d is! We want more than a candy machine? Then we gotta become yod'ey Hashem...whatever that means. Ask Yirmiyahu hanavi, who described it clearly and referred to His Rachamim.

And it takes time and work.

Same with the wife. Know her as a body....get fun, frustration, pain, desire, more pain...more lust...mazel tov. But after it is over, it's all just memories, nothing more. Nothing tangible....is that 'real'? Anyone can play 'husband' and 'wife'. Anyone can go through the motions and even say "I love you".

But when you don't stop at that, and work to know and appreciate who she really is besides a body, (and besides even a woman!)...now the connection can be real/tangible. And it grows, and grows. There can be joy, even when you are apart, cuz it's not an act and not just a memory.

That takes work and time. It all depends on what we want.

I'm about to drink a 'l'chaim in yerusholayim', with two holy guys of gye, it won't be woodford though. Take one too! It's on the big occasion of reaching ninety days after over a year, and hopefully many more good days to come. KOT! Loi-m

lichaim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Dov. That is profound.

So, if to me my daavening, learning etc only sems real when it gives me a good feeling, then HaShem is to me my candy machine, and therefore when it does not feel right i.e. I am not receiving my candy I go for the other candy i.e. acting out .

dov wrote on 13 Sep 2010 16:58:

I confess that I now realize that I don’t know anything, except that if it is easy it is probably candy. I hope that I will soon understand what the real thing is.

Thank you Dov and thank you Barditchev. What I have received from both of you is priceless.

BTW I am trying to learn from this in my thread "another day"

here is chizzuk i posted somewhere else




My good chaver

We say "keep on trucking"

Meaning keep on fighting keep on rolling keep on hitting the yh (yetzer hora)and if he hits you nu nu.. Just bounce back and hit him again and again


Ok now read this next paragraph slowwwly

You will never ever git rid of your YH

Sorry

You will ALWAYS have urges triggers and sad to say slip and even falls

So bardichev waht are you saying this whole battle is for nothing???

No no no and again no!!!

The job we have is to be engaged in the battle

That's our job

Its not our job to think and imagine the day being a retired general reading a stack of old battle books in a rocking chair and a cigar surrounded my medals and memorabilia

No it also not our job to say hey this is toooo huge foe me ill just chicken out and watch from the side

Yeah every once in a while I'll jump in

Neh! We need to be fully engaged. Full time.  At all costs. Day. Night. At work. On the street. In shul. At weddings. At the computer the blackberry. The everthingggg


You need to resolve that u are in it to win it. And winning means  STAYING IN THE GAME!!!


Keep on trucking
