Description

The only thing we can be connected to in this world and the next is Hashem. Because the Jew- G-d relationship is the point of life, we must utilize mundane things to come closer to Hashem. The idea of being close to Hashem and changing our lives scares us. Someone who “can’t” change, has to daven that Hashem should help them make the necessary changes to get closer to Him. How do we get to uncover this desire to be close to Hashem which is really already deep inside every Jew? Olam Haba (The World To Come) is just enjoying being close to Hashem. Someone who doesn’t feel close to Hashem in this world won’t be able to feel close in the next world either.
