PREPARATION FOR SHAVUOT MEDITATION
Day 49 Malkchut shebMalchut
Meditation based on Rav Y.M. Morgenstern Yam HaChochma on Shavous
Preparing for Kabbalat HaTorah
May we be zoche to deep revelation to finally free us of our negative attachments / shibud / enslavement to our old stories and triggers
May Hashem help us, as we receive the chag Shavuos, enter into the pnimius of the avodah – to seek Hashemhere is nothing but Hashem is the reality.
May we experience how everything declares the kavod of Hashem just as when He came down to meet us at Har Sinai.
May we stand filled with ahava and yira/ love and awe during the Torah reading, when we hear first word of the Aseret Hadibro/ 10 commandments, Anochi” - I“.
May Hashem help us, as we receive the chag Shavuos, enter into the pnimius of the avodah – to seek Hashem Himself

The Wakefulness on Shavuos Night
During this Yom Tov of Shavuos,
we are arriving Kabbalat HaTorah
the ultimate level of yearning to see Hashem.
On this most holy day
we long for closeness to Hashem and to truly reveal Him in all the worlds
By our learning Torah, both the revealed and the hidden.
our innermost desires are revealed,
and we attain the dizzying heights of Atik,
the highest aspect of Keter,
which is associated with ratzon / Will.
As we remain awake all night on Shavuos, we can put our consciousness and
connect with the Tzadik Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai
Sefer Doniel describes Reb Shimon bar Yochai as an “wide-awake angel and holy one that descended from heaven.”
עיר וקדיש מן שמיא נחית
With the tzaddik, even the state of katnus
(when one’s consciousness of G-d is most limited, and inner pain from the concealment of the Divine presence)
is suffused with dveykus;
in truth, real dveykus with the Shechinah demands the descent into katnus
We merit to receive the Torah on Shavuos morning. What distinguishes the person who does merit to come close to the tzaddik and the Torah from one who does not… is the degree of her dveykus with the light of emunah and the Shechinah.
The main way to prepare is by fulfilling the verse,
וַיִּֽחַן־שָׁ֥ם יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל נֶ֥גֶד הָהָֽר .
And Yisrael camped (singular) there opposite the mountain”.
Chazal tell us that the Jewish people are referred to in the singular form since every one of us felt completely at one with each other.
K’Ish Echad B’Lev Echad
“like 1 person with 1 heart”.
one body, one unit
Look at each word of the Aseret Hadibrot…
Anochi
אָֽנֹכִ֨י
the first word Hashem ever said to us
bring His deepest essence
into our lowest places
יקוק
Havaya is the G‑dly force of existence:
surrounding the world.
אֱלֹקֶ֔יךָ
Elokecha / Elokim protects the world and
allows for our physical world to exist
This is our tikkun…
transforming the the nachash נחש
to the Choshen חשן
and Moshiach משיח (all equal 358)
