Approaching the Level of Complete Devotion

of 诪砖讬讞, we're close to reaching this level of being given over to 讛砖诐 like an 注讘讚 completely, which is an unlimited 砖诪讞讛 and unlimited closeness. That's why now already since 讟讜注诪讬讛 讞讬讬诐 讝讻讜 things started getting closer, we start tasting the 注谞讬谉 of 诪砖讬讞, so we already sing and dance now. And it's interesting that it started basically from the 讘注诇 砖诐 讟讜讘, and it goes on by 讞住讬讚讬诐. By not 讞住讬讚讬诐, you don't see that. I saw a lot of people not 讞住讬讚讬诐 on 砖讘转, they wouldn't they wouldn't they wouldn't 驻讗讟砖. I saw one guy, one like that, to make a 砖讬谞讜讬. I mean, how much could you clap already like this? But by 讞住讬讚讬诐, they just do it the right way: dancing, dance on 砖讘转. Why? Because it's from the time of the 讘注诇 砖诐 讟讜讘 that it says that the 谞讬爪讜爪讜转, the sparks of 诪砖讬讞, started shining. 讘注诇 砖诐 讟讜讘 with 讞住讬讚讜转, 讬驻讜爪讜 诪注讬谞讜转讬讱 讞讜爪讛, the wellsprings of 讞住讬讚讜转. So then, and and as it gets closer, this 注谞讬谉 is stronger, so therefore now certainly there is no problem with singing and dancing on on 砖讘转, but it's all again a reminder of 诪砖讬讞. So

Singing and Dancing on Shabbat as Messianic Faith

every time we sing on 砖讘转 and someone 驻讗讟砖注住, it's an expression of our 讗诪讜谞讛 in 诪砖讬讞. It's an expression of our 转驻讬诇讛, like we said before, and every opportunity we 讚讗讜讜注谉 for 诪砖讬讞, 讚讗讜讜注谉 to 讛砖诐 for 诪砖讬讞. So on 砖讘转, when we when we clap, when we dance, it is because we want 诪砖讬讞. But, like I always finish, we want him, let him come. Yes. Is it possible that the that 讚讜讚 was trying to attain 谞讘讜讗讛 beforehand as a preparation for this? How could he? Right, right. So the 诪爪讜讛 should be a higher Right, higher level, that this, the 诪爪讜讛 of 讛讻谞住转 讛讗专讜谉
