Discover how studying Hashem's creation and His infinite wisdom is the actual fulfillment of the mitzvah to love Hashem, rather than just a stimulus for emotion. Join Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner as he explores deep insights from the Rambam in Mishneh Torah and Sefer Hamitzvos. In this shiur, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner breaks down the profound concepts of acquiring a true bond with Hashem through knowledge, contemplation of His greatness, and understanding the heavenly bodies and various levels of existence. We examine how the Rambam explains that love and fear of Hashem are states of mind achieved by recognizing His wisdom in creation, moving beyond a basic appreciation of physical benefits to a deeply spiritual, higher level of love.
