“In praying, in trying to approach God with thoughts and words, the essential factor is nullification of self.
Especially when one recites the Shema prayer, thoughts should be concentrated on the Divine oneness, not as contrasted to duality or multiplicity, but as His all-inclusive unity, in the sense that nothing else exists.”
--Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz
From “Gladness in the Presence of God” p. 221, in The Long Shorter Way by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz
May you be inscribed for a good year. –Arthur Kurzweil
