My reflections on rabbi Doniel Katz lecture
The title of rabbi Katz lecture was "secrets to Jewish wedding" but in my opinion his presentation was really about "actualize the potential of life". Meaning Gd gave us life, super capabilities and the technology to actualize it. Technology? Rabbi Daniel Katz explained a Jewish wedding is actually "Spiritual Technology" two people can use, creating a premise/foundation (planting a seed) to actualize the potential (love, unity, peace, joy) of a union between two souls. Even the specific detailed actions in a Jewish marriage ceremony are all Technologies to actualize the potential in that moment n for the bride and groom's marriage . According to Rabbi Kats if used correctly this technology of a Jewish wedding can create a reality beyond imagination for 2 people & the whole world . What do you mean whole world? Rabbi Katz explains the very fabric of the entire universe is designed around marriage or Union between male and female energy forces. For example in pasuk 1:1 bereishit) Torah says; "In the beginning Gd created the heavens (male energy) and the earth (females energy)"; this according to rabbi Katz last night was the first marriage/Union in creation. When standing underneath a Chuppah the Chatan & Kallah draw down into this world the same light existing from the "beginning of creation" into their marriage; and for the whole world. I also loved rabbi's Katz concept of the candles before Shabbat being two separate ones (separation) but during Havdalah the two candles are interwoven (unity). Rabbi Katz is awesome; if you get a chance you should run to check him out! And run to get married! (taking my own advice lol)
