Key points:Calling upon Hashem in truth (Psalms 145:18) — Free the heart from worldly distractions; cleave intellect and mind solely to Hashem with constant yearning. In crisis, the first thought is “Hashem, help me”—aligning fully with God.Hisbodedus (seclusion) — Pious people seclude themselves (e.g., in a room) to connect deeply with Hashem, avoiding worldly bonds except for necessities. Avoid prayer focused only on personal needs/money/honor—that’s not true avodah (service).Daily prayer for truth — Recite “V’taher libeinu l’avdecha be’emes” (purify our hearts to serve You in truth)—ensure all service is authentic, not for people, money, or ego.Return to Hashem — “Im tashuv ad Shakai tivaneh” (Job 22:23): Return without foreign thoughts separating you from God—rebuild strongly in the radiance of Shechinah.King David’s truth — “Hashem, who dwells on Your holy mountain? He who walks perfectly, acts righteously, and speaks truth in his heart” (Psalms 15:1–2)—truth must be implanted in the heart, not just spoken.Early pious sages — Sold items at the heart-fixed price, refusing higher offers; write down commitments to avoid forgetting/violating inner truth.Truth’s reward — “You decree a word, and it will be fulfilled for you” (Job 22:28)—truthful people’s words/thoughts manifest; their dealings (business, lending) reflect unwavering honesty.The rabbi stresses: in a materialistic world, seclude daily (e.g., 10–30 minutes without devices) for true dveikut (cleaving to God). Prayer is face-to-face with Hashem—prepare with 60 seconds of contemplation. Truth in heart ensures fulfilled words and divine closeness._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/xC6r791Xymmyyuvq9mTdZu0MAAPBACVmCy-Annx8scQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzIw/Y2Q5NDEwOThkYmRi/NjkwMTNiZWE1Njhl/MzljZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
