Loving God with all your heart
Question
What does ot mean to love your God...Yahweh-with all your MIND. Thankyou.
Answer
Our sages provide a twofold explanation.
Firstly, to love Him with both our good and evil inclinations, meaning with the two halves of every person's nature. It is essential to strengthen the good part and suppress the negative aspects.
Secondly, to love with one's entire heart, leaving no part untouched by belief in Him. This requires a wholehearted commitment to faith.
