A core practice of Hebrew wisdom is called Mitzvah. Although Mitzvah is usually translated as commandment, the Hebrew mystics also read it as being related to the word Tzavtah, meaning intimacy. Mitzvah is the path of intimacy in which the skin-encapsulated ego expands to include all that exists. At the level of Liberation, Mitzvah acts as a channel to draw down the light (shefa) and activate the divine flow of life.<\/font><\/p>\nParticularly, we see Shabbat as a day spiritual renewal and Liberation in which the primary mitzvah is creating a quiet mind to receive the higher energies of Liberation. In this context Shabbat is integral to the teachings of Jewish Liberation. In the Jewish liberation tradition, the words of the divine to Abraham, “Lech Lecha,” are literally translated to mean, “Go to Your Self. Realize that your Divine self is “literally part of God.” Once the human beings solves the perpetual identity crisis by realizing his identity with Divine, he or she is able to act with courage, compassion, wisdom, responsibility and holy audacity. It is this courage and audacity of human action, which supports the activation of the indwelling Shekhinah energy that opens us to the experiential awareness of Deveikut. It is this awareness, which naturally manifests the most evolved vision of Tikkun Olam (the healing and transformation of the world).<\/p>\n
