it's time for Rabbi minkowitz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight Rabbi
minkowitz welcome to this week's Torah
lesson this week's Torah
portion question of the week is is hasem
ever hidden from us so in this week's
Torah portion we learn about what God
tells moso what's going to happen in the
future after moso passes on and God
tells mosu that we're going to stray and
we're going to drift away from God and
God says when we drift away the and I
referring to
God I'm going to conceal
myself ask a simple
question it should say God has to
conceal
himself God is concealing himself but
why is say God will conceal himself
conceal himself what's a
double what's a double message of
concealing
so the B explains what is the idea of
the double message of concealing that
even the idea that God Is
concealed that itself is a con is is
concealed from us that God Is concealed
and know what does that mean the every
explains this follows that it says a
verse it says I am sleeping air but my
heart is awake to God what does that
mean der explains according to mysticism
that when God created the world there's
he created the world in the
materialistic world that in order to
have a relationship with God we have to
do the effort that means we have to be
awake awake means we're looking for God
and we're developing a relationship with
God we're cultivating a relationship
with God what does that mean I'm awake
what is when I fall asleep that I'm not
looking for God so what happens there be
explains there are times in our life
that I'm sleeping I'm not necessarily
praying with a proper intention I'm not
necessarily doing the mitzil with a
proper kavana I'm not necessarily
turning studying tor every time I can
but what happens then is but even though
you're sleeping but says always air your
heart's awake but if you sleeping how's
your heart awake because the Reb says
when you're sleeping that means the
revealed part of you is not connecting
to God what happens when you go to sleep
you're not dead when you're sleeping
your subconscious is alive and what does
that mean you're connecting to a even
greater and more powerful part of God
what are you connecting to you're
connecting to on the spiritual the C so
of much more powerful level of God so
basically this says that what happens
when God Is concealed that means when
we're not looking for God so then we
actually connect to the an part of God
the deepest part of God so the answer to
the question is God ever hidden from us
no God is always revealed sometimes in a
revealed way but sometimes the concealed
uh relationship is even deeper and
stronger than the revealed
one this week's Torah lesson is in
memory of B and schlomo Ys May their
souls be elevated for the Torah that
we're studying in their memory thanks so
