Hasiduth: Remembrance (Hazkara) and Love

 The Hasid follows the path toward God primarily by means of love. For the Hasid who is enraptured with the love of God (who is the source of all existence), all of existence is extraordinarily beautiful. In contrast, one who is not in love with God to this degree will not see what is so awesome about existence. While some Hasidim become utterly consumed by love's fire, for most who wish to love God, their love is merely a wavering flame, ever in danger of diminishing. Hence, by remembering God's forgotten reality and beauty, Hasids rekindle the flame of their love for God. In Hasiduth, it is remembrance that makes the heart grow fonder. In a nutshell, this is the relationship between Hazkara and love.
