Deus
Deus é a realidade suprema do universo — o criador, sustentador e redentor de tudo o que existe. Conhecê-lo é a essência da vida eterna e o maior privilégio da existência humana.
Quem é Deus
Não há santo como o Senhor. Tu és grande e fazes maravilhas — só tu és Deus. Sua majestade transcende toda compreensão.
There is none kadosh like Hashem;
for there is none besides Thee;
neither is there any Tzur like Eloheinu.
Wherefore Thou art great, Adonoi Hashem; for there is none like Thee, neither is there any Elohim but Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
For every Beis is built by someone, but the One having built everything is Hashem.
Hashem, Thou art Elohai;
I will exalt Thee,
I will praise Shimecha;
for Thou hast done peleh; [5]
Thy etzot (plans) of old
are emunah omen (perfect faithfulness).
For My machshevot are not your machshevot,
neither are the darkhei (ways) of you the darkhei of Me, saith Hashem.
Deus é amor
Deus é amor. Quem permanece no amor permanece em Deus e Deus nele. Nós amamos porque Ele nos amou primeiro.
And we have had da’as and emunah in the ahavah which Hashem has for us. Hashem is ahavah. The one making his ma’on in ahavah makes his ma’on in Hashem and Hashem in him.
We have ahavah because rishonah He had ahavah for us.
If anyone says I have ahavah for Hashem and the Ach b’Moshiach he hates, he is a shakran (liar). For the one not having ahavah for the Ach b’Moshiach of him whom he has seen, how can he have ahavah for the Elohim whom he has not seen?
No one has ever beheld Hashem. If we have ahavah one for another, G-d makes His ma’on in us and the Ahavas Hashem in us has been made shleimah.
Hashem thy G-d in the midst of thee is gibbor;
He will save,
He will rejoice over thee with simchah;
He will quiet [you] in His ahavah (love),
He will joy over thee with singing.
Buscar a Deus
Buscareis o Senhor e o encontrareis quando o buscardes de todo o coração. Provai e vede que o Senhor é bom.
But if from thence thou shalt seek Hashem Eloheicha, thou shalt find Him, if thou seek Him with all thy lev and with all thy nefesh.
The Malach Hashem encampeth round about them that fear Him,
and delivereth them.
I said unto Hashem, Thou art Adonoi of me;
besides Thee I have no good.
Whom have I in Shomayim but Thee?
And there is none upon HaAretz that I desire beside Thee.
Mine adversaries kol hayom trample me;
for they be rabbim that fight against me, Marom (Most High).
Incline Thine ear to me;
deliver me speedily;
be Thou for me a Tzur Ma’oz,
a Bais Metzudot (fortress) to save me.
For whosoever findeth me findeth Chayyim,
and shall obtain ratzon Hashem.
Viver com Deus
Sê forte e corajoso, porque o Senhor teu Deus é contigo. Em Deus encontramos a razão de existir.
Have not I commanded thee? Chazak! And be of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for Hashem Eloheicha is with thee everywhere thou goest.
I can do all things in the One giving me ko’ach.
Have simcha in Adoneinu always; again I will say it: Rejoice!
Arise, shine; for thy ohr is come,
and the kavod Hashem is risen upon thee.
For I Hashem Eloheicha
will take hold of thy yamin (right hand),
saying unto thee:
Fear not; I will help thee.
Be humbled before Hashem and He will exalt you.
Do not be led astray. Hashem is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, this also he will reap.
Honor thy av and thy em; that thy yamim may be long upon ha’adamah which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee.
