Friend,    With Purim right around the corner, Sefaria is busy preparing for the โ€œPurim bumpโ€ โ€” the increase in users who visit Sefaria to celebrate the holiday. Last year, more than 100,000 people visited the library or used the app to connect with the holiday or read along with Megillat Esther. This year weโ€™re expecting even more.    To help with our text and tech preparations ahead of this busy time, a generous Jewish foundation is matching all gifts to the library up to $36,000.    Please give today to help us meet your learning needs!

(1) To explain more adequately and more precisely the word โ€œveryโ€ in the verse, โ€œFor this thing is very near to youโ€ฆ.โ€1โ€ฏDeuteronomy 30:14.

(2) It should be recognized with certainty that even the person whose understanding in the knowledge of Gโ€“d is limited, and who has no heart to comprehend the greatness of the En Sof, blessed is He, to produce therefrom awe and love [of Gโ€“d] even in his mind and understanding alone2โ€ฏI.e., without emotional sway.โ€”however, it is a โ€œvery near thingโ€ for him to observe and practice all the commandments of the Torah and the โ€œstudy of the Torah which counterbalances them all,โ€ in his very mouth and heart, from the depths of his heart, in true sincerity, with fear and love; namely, the hidden love in the heart of all Jews which is an inheritance to us from our Patriarchs.

(3) However, we must, first of all, preface a clear and precise explanation of the origin and essence of this love, how it became our inheritance, and how awe is also incorporated in it.
