ACT OF GRATITUDE: READING OF AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK OF SHAMATI

However, one who wants to serve the Creator in truth, and
constantly examines himself, if he is willing to work devotedly
“and with all thy heart,” he sees that he is always deficient in
faith, meaning that he is always short of it.
Only when one has faith can one feel that one is always
seated before the King. When one feels the greatness of the
King, one can discover the love in two ways: in a good way, and
in a way of harsh judgments. Hence, the one who seeks the truth
is the one who needs the Light of faith. If such a person hears or
sees some way to obtain the Light of faith, then one is happy as
though he had found a great fortune.
Hence, those people who seek the truth, on the holiday
of Pesach, which is capable of the Light of faith, we read in the
Parasha (Torah portion), “and they believed in the Lord, and in
His servant Moses,” because then is a time that can impart that.
