Approaches to Avodah and Redemption

הפצת המיינות חוצה | June 27, 2025

And as a result of completing the Avodah in all these matters we come to the redemption of the future very soon Mammosh!

In Avodah, of practising Yiddishkiet there are different approaches, perhaps we can say: that there is someone who perhaps grew up religious and mechanically does all the Mitzvos that are expected from him. But like the letter ‘Hey’ his action is disassociated from his thought; his intention and focus are not connected to the deed. He needs to connect the left leg of his ‘Hey’ and connect it to his thought making a ‘Ches’ which will then lead him to a Teshuvah where he can transform his habitual life of ‘Hey’ which now has thought in his ‘Ches’ into a ‘Kuf’ where he elevates his transgressions. Someone else might not have been brought up religious and he has become a Baal Teshuvah and repents for his past and regrets his life that was void of Hashem, so he has his ‘Kuf’ but perhaps he needs take on more Mitzvos more Torah study classes more charity and build his ‘Ches’ and think about the Mitzvos that he is doing, connecting his action with his thought. He will then come to a stage where he has to lose the (Self-Proclaimed) Baal Teshuvah label and do all the Mitzvos regularly building his ‘Hey’ and become a regular guy. Someone else might enjoy putting on Tefilin sometimes and keeping other Mitzvos sporadically and they might mean a lot to him and spiritually uplift him, and he may have full focus and intention whilst performing his Mitzvos like the ‘Ches’. But has not yet taken the plunge of Teshuvah, he may still be holding on to his non-Jewish lifestyle. He needs to build his ‘Kuf’ do a complete Teshuvah and then tackle his ‘Hey’ later.

In all these matters: Both the study of Torah, the regular Avodah of Temidim Kesidron, and the Avodah of Teshuvah.
