The opening

Torah 1

Happy are the ones on the wholehearted path, who walk in HaShem’s Torah. (Psalms 119:1)

Acknowledge because by way of the Torah all prayers and requests that we request and pray are accepted. And Yisrael’s favor and importance are raised and elevated before whoever they need whether spiritually or materialistically.

Because now in our many transgressions Yisrael’s real favor and importance descended, because now the importance and favor are mainly by them, but through the Torah Yisrael’s favor and importance are raised because the Torah is called (Proverbs 5) AYeLeT AHaVIM VYAALaT HeN/Favor, that raises/SHeiMAALaH HeN/favor upon her studiers (Eruvin 54b); through this all prayers and requests are raised.

The Jewish man needs to constantly look at (pay attention to) the intelligence (in other words meaning, or possibly spirituality) that is [surely in] everything. He must do this in order so the intelligence found in EVERYTHING will enlighten him to become closer to Hashem Yisborach through the very thing in which he see the intelligence.

The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
