GC#37 - Black & White Fire - Omer Day 23 - a podcast by Amram Landau

It's a beautiful song - 'Bilvovi Mishkan Evneh' - I place a Sanctuary in my heart. But it is so much more than nice poetry. As Pesach passed over, we spoke about connection with Hashem - the 'Dodi' of Shir HaShirim. How we need to let Him into our hearts. This is done by making room for Him - 'Open for Me like the eye of a needle, and I will open up the entrance way of a great hall'.

Both Yitzchok and Moshe are exemplars of those who totally got it - both had elements of apparent imperfection. Yet, at second glance, both get as close as humanly possible to that elusive point of perfection, almost reaching the 50th level by self-abnegation.

Whilst the flame still burns, we can all aspire to the strength of that fire.
