Today you are writing a note to the Holy
Shekinah.
It is told that once a poor Jew came to
the Holy Or HaChaim.
He began to cry to the Or HaChaim and
said to him, "Rabbi, there [music] is
nothing to eat at home. The situation is
so difficult. Write me a note." And the
Holy Or HaChaim with his quill
>> [music]
>> wrote him a note, folded it, gave it to
him, and said, "Take this and place it
between the stones of [music] the
Western Wall and pray to the Holy One,
blessed be He, from the deepest depths
of your heart." And this poor man
[music] takes the note, places it
between the stones, prays to the Holy
One, blessed be He, and says to him,
"Master of the Universe, here I have a
note from the Holy Or HaChaim. Master of
the Universe, help me." And next to him
stood an old Jewish man. The Jew stands
and watches. He also hears the prayer.
He hears that there is a note here from
the Holy Or HaChaim. And when the Jew
[music] left, a wind blew and the note
flew away. This old man ran after the
note as he was curious. And he opened it
and saw that what was written on the
note was simple words, without mystical
intentions or unifications, without any
lofty words in honor of the Holy
Shekinah. My sister, my beloved, my
dove, my perfect one, I ask you to help
this Jew.
From me, I'm Ben Attar.
That's it.
That is the simplest secret there is.
You don't need fancy words or all
[music] kinds of holy names. As simple
as can be. We are at the Hilula of the
Holy Or HaChaim
>> [music]
>> who connected us so deeply to the Holy
Shekinah. He is the one who wrote the
prayer for of the Shekinah. [music]
He tells us in simple words, speak with
the Shekinah, write her a note. What are
you asking for? What do you need? You
will see that from the simplest place in
the world salvation will come to you
with God's help. [music] So light a
candle in honor of Rabbi Chaim Ben
Attar, may his merit protect us. Be
connected to the Holy Shekinah and there
is no doubt that we will all merit
redemption. Amen and amen.
