The Lord is My Light!

Thank you, I learn so much from listening to the commentary. I was wondering how you know that evil refers to the inner experience? I mean how are you sure it's only the inner David is referring to and now literal enemies? Reply

Through sincere "Teshuvah' which means to return, we not only erase all negativity/transgression in our past, we actually transform the 'darkness' into 'light'. The essential elements of teshuvah are; Regretting our past misdeeds and firmly resolving not to repeat them. When this comes from the depth of the heart , as it does with you, G-d not only 'forgets' and erases the sins, He transforms them into virtues.
I see you live in Melbourne (my home town). I encourage you to be in contact with a local Chabad rabbi who will be able to elucidate further and direct you on a joyous path of teshuvah.
I wish you much success and blessing in all good things. Shana Tovah. Reply

G.d was hurt As I listened to this talk, near the beginning you mention that G.d was hurt. I had never thought of Him in such a way that He made Himself vulnerable to Bnei Israel to the point that our actions could hurt Him. To me this is a very powerful and profound thought. When I think of Hashem, I think of the Almighty, the King, the Heavenly Father, the Protector, the Redeemer, the Provider, etc.

As I heard those words that He, Hashem was hurt something happened to me a very deep soul level and I began to cry. The tears started flowing and I sobbed to think that The Creator and sustainer of all that is and will ever be was hurt by our actions because He loves so much. This awakening has changed me. I want to know what I can do to make it up to Him. To bring Him so much joy that He will choose to forget the pain I caused Him.

Thanks so much for this message. Reply
