How does the average Jew begin to seek the pleasure in G-d? The Torah points the way.

• Begin to align your will with G-d's will...

• Align your emotions with love and fear of G-d in prayer...

• Align your mind with G-d's mind by learning the Torah...

• Limit your indulgence in physical pleasures, even permitted ones...

• Associate with other Jews who are inspired in their service to cleave to the Divine Presence...
