Podcast: The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman

Episode: Hayom Yom 20 Tammuz - Three meditations: 1)study, 2)before praying, 3)prayer

Description: שְׁלֹשָׁה מִינֵי הִתְבּוֹנְנוּת הֵםThere are three kinds of meditation:א) הִתְבּוֹנְנוּת לִמּוּדִית(a) Meditation associated with study: אַחַר שֶׁמֵּבִין הָעִנְיָן עַל בּוּרְיוֹ, הוּא מִתְבּוֹנֵן בְּעוֹמֶק הָעִנְיָן הַהוּא, עַד שֶׁהַשִּׂכְלִי מֵאִיר אֶצְלוֹAfter a person understands a concept thoroughly, he meditates on its depth until its intellectual content illuminates him.ב) שֶׁקּוֹדֶם הַתְּפִלָּה(b) Meditation before praying: עִנְיָנָהּ הֶרְגֵּשׁ חַיּוּת הָעִנְיָן שֶׁלָּמַד וְלֹא הֶרְגֵּשׁ הַשִּׂכְלִי כְּמוֹ בְּהִתְבּוֹנְנוּת לִמּוּדִיתThe point here is to experience the vitality of the concept that one has studied, not its intellectual aspect, as in the case of meditation associated with study.ג) שֶׁבִּתְפִלָּה(c) Meditation in the course of prayer: עִנְיָנָהּ הֶרְגֵּשׁ הָאֱלֹקוּת שֶׁבְּהָעִנְיָן שֶׁלָּמַדThe purpose here is to sense the Divinity within the concept one has studied.שָׁלֹשׁ אֵלֶּה הֵם שְׁלִיבוֹת סוּלָּם הַהַרְגָּשָׁהThese are three rungs on the ladder of spiritual sensitivity. וְרַק בְּחַסְדֵי הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרֵךְ עִמָּנוּ מַרְגִּישִׁים לִפְעָמִים — דעֶרהעֶרט מעֶן — ג-טלִיכְקַייט בְּלִי שׁוּם עֲבוֹדָה כְּלָלAt times, solely due to G
