Questions for today:
We are continuing our understanding of the ‘yield’ from our effort. How can we understand on the one hand the importance of our participation, yet on the other hand the vast incomparable revenue?
We are discussing a revelation from the creator which is coming from a great level of kindness. If that’s the case, why do I have to do my part, giving charity?
When the creator creates this world, it's not just Created with kindness. Another foundational attribute necessary is ‘strictness’ which limits G-d's infinity so that we could exist.
Because of this, if I want to get from the creator's kindness I have to do something to elicit this specifically, measure for measure.
When we say ‘measure for measure’ we're usually referring to two things on the same plane.
However, when we pray the connection to the Creator is as though the Creator stops ‘exhaling’ us as separate beings, and inhales - we're one with the creator!
What can we possibly do that will be able to elicit that gift/connection?
