Where is the world’s most ordinary place? A fifteen days’ journey from Jerusalem, in a field on the banks
of the Euphrates.
This is probably the best Diroh be'Tachtoinim/Yaakov Holach leDarcoi article I have ever read. It is inspiring, informative and extremely well written.

great material for our shabboton- thank you

Ah! I have been understanding the essence of Cheshvan, and the time to convert all the gain of the High Holidays into action. But, the significance of the 7th day and your articulation of the sanctity of the mundane forges a brilliant clarity. The ability of man to be "spiritual" in a "material" world is the key we all need to use far more often.

When my father passed away on the 7th of Cheshvan, 4 years ago, I wasn't familiar with this special significance of this date. But I knew that it had to be a spiritually significant day, other than his yartzeit, so I went straight to my Chabad calendar, And I began to learn about this timely concept. And your article really added to and enhanced what I've learned so far. So, I'll hook up my printer, press the button, and have something good to say at the farbringen for my Dad's yartzeit later this week.
Thank you!
But haven't we already waited for that last Jew? Don't we deserve Moshiach, like right now?!

No prayer for rain until the last Jew re-entered the Land.No one sacrificed.No one left out.This should be inspiring to us all.

I find it interesting to read that G_d's concealment is more hidden in the Lower World, meaning our everyday world because i perceive G_d's most visible presence wherever I go, wherever I am. Maybe it takes a spiritual journey to first allow this opening of veil upon veil. When I say in autumn I perceive Moses' burning bush, I am very serious about this, and when I say, I perceive in what I know about gardening, the laws of life that pertain to all of us, I am also quite serious, and when I talk about the bulbs I place in the garden as also a connect to the light bulbs that are both stars and electric, I am also serious. I see a vast one ness to the everything.
I wonder, when I write about such things, if people can perceive the layers and depths or if this is mere metaphor when explicated.
As sod in Hebrew means hidden, so is sod, or earth an English word, and these are totally connected. What we unearth was hidden.
LOAM OLAM this is not random, this beauty that can be seen
