FRIDAY PRAYER: HESED -TEVILAH (טְבִילָה): PURIFYING (WASHING OF THE BODY) RITUAL
READING: BETWEEN AFTERNOON AND SUNSET – THURSDAY
TEVILAH (טְבִילָה): PURIFYING (WASHING OF THE BODY) RITUAL AFTER THE MAIN READINGS OF `PRAYER OF MANY´ THIS WEEK.
To Go “Outside” of Myself in Order to Advance
When I succeed to see the real egotistic attributes in myself, and to rise above them, then I can really advance.
When I succeed to rise above the reality to which I relate to in hatred and repulsion, I build a bridge of love. I exit myself and relate to the environment with true concern, i.e., more than for myself. This is called to rise above the Masach (screen). The intention is to be more and more above the ego and the environment and to yearn for true connection.
