But since it is in the tract ‘The Root of the Mitzvah of Prayer’ and it is studied by Chassidim, in order to deepen their own contemplation in prayer, and it is also shared by them with other Jews, it means that at least at some level it is relevant to each individual. This also links with a teaching of the Baal Shem Tov8, commenting on this verse, that G-d works great wonders, but He works them ‘alone’, for although the world, the Jewish people and each person benefits, only G-d knows about these wonders. The discourse then explains that the continuation of the verse: ‘for His Kindness is for ever’, hints at the drawing down of this exalted spiritual flow, into the downchaining of the worlds, reaching right down to our physical world. 7 The implication is that although, in general, one’s service cannot reach or elicit the level of ‘G-d works great wonders - niflaot - alone’, through an added sense of ‘life’ in one’s service, this exalted level is indeed revealed. May it bring revealed blessing and Kindness on the physical plane, for each individual and for the entire Jewish people… Torah teachings are holy – please treat these pages with care 6 Sefer Hamitzvot, Derech Mitzvotecha, 138a. This means that however much G-d positively might respond to our service, and however great our service of G-d might be, there is always the feeling that there is a step higher, beyond the reach of our service. And this idea gives added life to the person’s service, in such a way that it indeed leads to the revelation of great Divine wonders, during the year ahead
