I heard from Rabbi Naftali, may his light shine, that he heard from Rabbainu, o.b.m., that it is good when the heart of a Jewish man is so drawn to Hashem Yisburach that at every moment when his heart is stirred he immediately begins to blaze and yearn for Hashem Yisburach with a yearning of the soul as is proper. And he then made motions with his hands on this matter. And he said that even when one is sitting among people, one should lift one's hands and heart to Hashem and cry out to Him with a yearning of the soul.[417] And he then raised his hands with wondrous arousal and said the verse "Do not forsake me, Hashem my G-d" (Psalms 38:22) in a pleasant, deep voice of supplication and wondrous longing for Hashem Yisburach — and took this as an example: that so it is fitting for a Jewish man — that even when he is among people, he should arouse himself at every moment toward Hashem Yisburach with a zealous arousal as mentioned above. 417. RAK: See above, sections 41, 42, 45.
