Why Does God Hide His Face? Kabbalah Has the Answer

<p>In this special lesson for the Three Weeks and Tisha B'Av, Rabbi Nir Menussi explores the deep mystical meaning behind divine hiddenness. Using the profound teachings of the Arizal and a beautiful Chassidic parable, we uncover why periods of darkness and "God hiding His face" are actually the essential preparation for a much higher, more intimate revelation of light.</p><p>In this video, we explore: </p><p>✨ The Parable of the Receding Teacher: Why the master goes silent before teaching a higher Torah. </p><p>✨ The Secret of Tzimtzum: Understanding the two types of divine contraction—emptying and filling. </p><p>✨ The Three Weeks vs. The Seven Weeks: How the three weeks of "rebuke" contain the seeds of the seven weeks of "consolation." </p><p>✨ The Lion’s Leap: How the "Lion" of Av (Leo) crouches in order to leap into the high holidays of Elul and Tishrei. </p><p>✨ Tisha B'Av &amp; Yom Kippur: The hidden connection between the two 24-hour fasts of the Jewish year. </p><p>✨ Personal Hiddenness: How to navigate your own private moments of spiritual darkness and find the light within them.</p><p>May this study transform your experience of this time of year from one of mere mourning into a deep, purposeful preparation for the new light to come.</p><p><br /></p><p>JOIN THE COMMUNITY</p><p>If you enjoyed this lesson and want to dive deeper, join our weekly live Zoom classes every Sunday! </p><p>Subscribers receive: </p><p>🙋‍♂️ Participation in our live 30-minute Q&amp;A sessions</p><p>📜 Full printable transcripts </p><p>📝 Concise summaries of every class </p><p>📊 Custom-designed slide deck presentations </p><p>Learn more and sign up here: https://www.torahcomestolife.com/learn</p><p>#Kabbalah #TishaBAv #Arizal #Torah #JewishMysticism #SpiritualGrowth #RabbiNirMenussi</p><p>// SUPPORT THE CHANNEL //https://mailchi.mp/nehiru/support// KEEP UP TO DATE // One link to rule them all: https://linktr.ee/menussiWhatsApp: https://bit.ly/nir-menussi-whatsappEmail: https://mailchi.mp/afbb216d51b9/newsletter-signup// BOOKS //Worlds of Wonder: New Gateways to Kabbalah &amp; Chasidut: https://a.co/d/flQD4gmBecoming One: Finding &amp; Nurturing True Love: https://a.co/d/9oPiiPa// MORE CONTENT //Blog: https://nirmenussi.substack.com/Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5zcqjHCk3ecxdZbJrravuJ?si=b89fc0dddce542e3</p>
