From Sefer Kavanos Halev, By Moshe at ilovetorah.com
INTRODUCTION
TO KAVANOS HALEV
As the era of
the moshiach’s coming approaches, thousands of Jews are seeking out the
depths of the Torah like never before. Those seeking a spiritual revival
study the great works of Chassidic Rebbes and Talmidei Chachomim
with the idea of applying their practical advice to their life. Kavanos Halev
teaches a practical, yet advanced approach in Avodas Hashem, based on the
teachings of our Sages.
This sefer is written with the intention of helping every Jew
reach their true potential. The keys to accomplishing purity of mind will be
explained in the following ten chapters. With the help of Hashem, in each
chapter, I have included some of my own personal thoughts, chiddushim,
and numerous quotes from Gedolei Torah. While writing this sefer,
I have continually had in mind the importance of showing Ahavas Yisrael
by attempting to write in a style of true warmth. Rebbe Nachman of Breslov says
that a good story has the ability to touch a person, lighting the fire within
them. Kavanos Halev aims to ignite the fire within all who read it
through many thoughts, accompanied with stories of Tzaddikim. Based on the topics addressed, each chapter is followed
by a brief prayer to Hashem for success.
To find life in the mundane, and hope in our forlorn times is no easy
task. We must have patience with ourselves and with the generation that we are
in. Advice from Sages can be found in the vast libraries but to find one that
talks to you, answering your troubles with practical advice, is rare. Finally a sefer
is available to answer the cries of Klal Yisrael in this generation, and to uplift and bring relief to those feeling
spiritually unfulfilled.
