In the commemoration of the death anniversary of Rav Brandwein, Eitan Yardeni refers to letter 12 from the book, Beloved of my Soul, a compilation of letters written by Rav Yehuda Brandwein to Rav Philip Berg. In this letter, we are reminded of the importance of feeling certainty in the process of transformation.
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.
