In the 12th episode of our series on sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, we conclude chapter two, exploring the inner void so many of us feel, desperate for a sense of self-worth and true confidence.

In the eighth episode in our series on Yichud HaHisbodedus, we discover an exception to the rule of easing in to Hisbodedus in an orderly way - those moments when we are in so much pain that we just jump right into the thick of things. We also explore a beautiful teaching from the Piacezner Rebbe zy"a about the inherent experience of Hashem our souls already have, without need to intellectual "proofs".

In the sixth episode of our series on "Yichud HaHisbodedus", we discuss the way in which Hashem - while being Perfect and already Complete - "relies" on our prayers, and how Hashem reveals Himself in the "relational space" of Hisbodedus in an incredibly vulnerable manner, investing Himself fully in His relationship with each and every Jew.

In the fifth episode of our series on "Yichud HaHisbodedus", we discuss the consciousness with which a Jew should enter the space of Hisbodedus, hearing within one's heart and soul the echo of Hashem's excitement the a Jew has approached to spend time with Him - "Tov Shebata, thank you for coming!" - and the way this expansive consciousness will enable him to address every other aspect of the session with a broader, geulah-oriented perspective.

In the fourth episode of our series on "Yichud HaHisbodedus", we delve deeply into the love Hashem has for the Jewish nation, a love based on "cheishek" - a desire that can't necessarily be explained, a bond that is inherent and unconditional. Perhaps the central concept in the entire corpus of Tanach, this realization sits at the core of hisbodedus (personal prayer) and the approach taken by Rav Kluger in this remarkable sefer.
