The Power of Expressing Yourself in Your Mother Tongue

In this episode, the speaker discusses the profound spiritual practice of 'hisbodedus'—designating time each day to speak intimately with Hashem (God) in one's native language. Through heartfelt arguments, claims, and pleas, believers are encouraged to express themselves authentically, be it for regret and repentance or seeking to draw closer to the Divine. The speaker emphasizes that using one’s own language helps unlock deeper emotional connections. Caution is advised to confine this intense emotional expression to a specific time to avoid constant melancholy. The episode underscores that this practice is universally applicable, and even great tzadikim (righteous people) have reached high spiritual levels through this approach. Practical examples are given, including teaching children the practice by engaging them in simple, relatable conversations with God.
