Merkava LaShechina - Partners in the publication of the holy book

Partners in Publishing the Book "Merkava LaShechina" Rabbi Yaakov Avraham Shepherd, shlita, has labored over this book for many years. Now the time has come to bring it to print, and you are invited to be a partner in that. There is a secret that was guarded for generations. The tzaddikim who came before us knew the path of ascent and unification, the gate to Hashem that the Arizal, zt"l, wrote of, and they concealed it deliberately, out of concern that it would reach someone who might err in it. Rabbi Yaakov Avraham Shepherd, shlita, asks that very question himself in the opening of the book: "From where did I draw the strength to publish this work?" His answer is simple and courageous: because this is a favorable hour, and the sages of our generation have already begun to open the path. In our generation, this is called meditation, but here it is not another relaxation technique: it is the actual service of the tzaddikim, real practical guidance, which the Rav has gathered, clarified, and explained from the writings of the Arizal, Ramchal, the Baal Shem Tov, Rabbi Avraham Abulafia, and others, so that an ordinary person can walk it step by step. "Merkava LaShechina" is not a promise, but preparations and practical counsel for one who wishes to ascend the mountain of Hashem, in the spirit of Moshe Rabbeinu's own prayer: "Would that all the people of Hashem were prophets." For when a person rectifies himself, he himself becomes a merkava, a chariot, for the Shechina, and all the worlds are elevated together with him. Yeshivat HaMekubalim Nefesh HaChaim, located in Jerusalem, is dedicated to making the wisdom of the hidden Torah accessible, through online courses, published books and siddurim, under the guidance of Rabbi Shepherd, shlita. Publishing this book is a direct continuation of that same mission: to take Torah that today exists only in the Rav's own handwritten manuscript, and turn it into a printed book resting on the table of every student who seeks it. For this, we need you. The contributions in this campaign are dedicated to bringing the book to print: • editing • proofreading • layout • printing • distribution Every contribution brings closer the moment the book moves from manuscript into the world. And everyone who lends a hand becomes a partner in the Torah that will be learned from it. This is a merit that does not come every day: to be among those through whose merit a new sacred book comes into the light. Be a partner now Every amount brings the book closer to print. Contribute, and you will have a share, please G-d, in every page that is learned from it.
