  To go from the Beis Knesses (davenning) to the Beis Medresh (learning)

  Is only 2 out of 3 pillars of yiddishkeit. 

  Davenning (we speak to Hashem) and learning (Hashem speaks to  us) are the reciprocal parts of our holy ongoing conversation with Hashem. This is half of Torah. 

  There is, however,  the third pillar, the other half of Torah. 

  Maysim Tovim. Good deeds to another. 

  This is done by the tzedaka we give before davenning.  

  That way all 3 pillars and both halves are satisfied

  "I have to see myself and my mission from Hashem's point of view "

  But, just like "if I could know Hashem I would be Hashem"; maybe also "if I could see myself and my mission as Hashem sees it, I would be him"!

  We are dafka neshomas who, without any blinders know the emes, that are placed on a world with blinders, covers, shells, kelipas, etc.

  In our world of blinders, Hashem isn't easily discovered, the emes isn't easily discovered, who we are and what our life's mission are all not easily discovered.  

  Discoverable, yes, but not easily.

  For me...

  it seems easier to "pour out my soul" during davening with my own words than with the words in the siddur. Although over time and as I pray more from the siddur, someone else's words, and the words are becoming more familiar, sometimes the "pouring of the soul" happens.

  Some people find it hard to relate to "the reward of a mitzvah is the mitzvah"

  Yet, consider that a woman goes thru the pain of pregnancy abd childbirth. Then comes the baby.

  What's the reward of having the baby? 

  The baby itself.

  The seed is planted in the ground and a tree, branches and fruit emerge

  Man is compared to  a  tree.

  We all also begin with a seed. It is planted in the "ground", mother earth, the womb.

  From that seed we become a person, likened to the tree trunk. From the trunk comes branches, our children and students.  Then comes tge fruit, our learning and good deeds.

  The Torah we learn is "food" for both us and Hashem and sustains Him

  The moshel breaks down however at a point.  

  When we totally lack food, we starve to death. 

  Tho learning Torah is "food" for both us and Hashem, should there be a total lack of learning, i.e. starvation kaviochel, neither we nor Hashem "starves".

  Tho Chabad doesn't mark Yom Yerushalayim, many frum yidden

  Do. 54 years ago today the IDF, in the clearly miraculous 6 day war, took east yerushalayim, the old city and the Kosel. Many frum yidden say Hallel today. There are parades in Yerushalayim, etc.
