4. Neilah Sermon ! "No! Anyone But G-d! Please!! --Overcoming The Fear of Intimacy"

This sermon delves into the challenge some are presented with, by teaching of the Rebbe on Neilah. Neilah means closing, and now the doors of Yom Kippur atonement and judgement are closing upon us. Not that the door is closing on us, but that the door is closing on everyone else but us, and we are left alone with G-d. King David states (-Samuel II, 24:14; Chronicles I, 21:13), “I am greatly oppressed; let us fall now into the hand of the L-rd; for His mercies are great; but into the hand of man let me not fall.” Why I felt the exact opposite, and what the Rebbe’s Neilah means to me today.
