Behar - Heter Iska: Building a Relationship With Hashem

Nitzotzos: Thoughts to keep your spark alive

In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burg explains (based on a Sicha from the Lubavitcher Rebbe) the inner nature of a Heter Iska. As mere mortals we cannot create a relationship with Hashem. Hashem must initiate a relationship with us and then we can participate in said relationship. And yet, the relationship must be meaningful not only to us but also to Hashem in order for it to be a meaningful relationship.
