THURSDAY PRAYER: HOD-KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה

READING: BETWEEN AFTER MIDNIGHT AND DAWN WEDNESDAY
KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה :
– PRAYER OF GRATITUDE ON NEW MOON
ACT OF GRATITUDE: READING OF AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK OF SHAMATI
FAITH IN THE RAV, WHAT IS THE MEASURE
I heard in 1943
We must also know that when one is engaged in the right,
the time is right to extend Upper Bounty, because “the blessed
adheres to the blessed.” In other words, since one is in a state of
completeness, called “blessed,” in that respect one presently has
equivalence of form, since the sign of completeness is if one is in
gladness. Otherwise, there is no completeness.
It is as our sages said, “Divinity does not stay but only
out of gladness of a Mitzva.” The meaning is that the reason
that it brings one joy is the Mitzva, meaning that the Rav had
commanded him to take the right line.
