Join Karen and Michael Berg as they take turns revealing stories on the life and wisdom of Rav Brandwein, together drawing the essence of the great soul and teacher of Rav Berg.
For more on Michael’s favorite teaching of Rav Brandwein as discussed in this lesson, listen to the lecture, Shabbat Hagadol: Awakening Pesach.
When a kabbalistic sage leaves the world, a window of support and connection with all of the energy they have revealed during their life becomes available to us, particularly through study or visiting their gravesite. An especially powerful time to connect with the support of the righteous is on their Hilulah, the day that they departed our physical world. Hilulah literally means a day of celebration and by staying up late at night, sometimes until sunrise, studying about their lives and the wisdom they revealed we are able to tap into their energy and assistance to transform our own lives.
