„IV) *** When a person is at the bottom and feels like nothing, let him know that this feeling can symbolize a great ascent that is destined to come out of the loathing within the emptiness, out of the suffering within the nothingness. Seemingly this passage could arouse a question - from where does the Rav derive this promise? Do we not know people whom emptiness envelops their entire life and who have no ascent?! But the matter depends on us: if we feel that we are at the bottom of the ladder, and out of this we make a decision that we will gird our strength and lift ourselves up, then precisely the bad and empty feeling can be a springboard to God's salvation and to success. *** Have a good evening In memory of Shalom ben Regina *** To purchase the book”From For questions, you may contact us in a private message
