Tehillim 86—How to Transform Judgments into Shefa

Tehillim 86:16

- “P'nei eilai v'choneini” - (Turn to me and show me compassion.)

This is a plea for Hashem to turn His face toward a person and annul harsh judgments.

“May the L-rd turn His face toward you” — from the blessing of “Birkat Kohanim” — this provides an abundance of shefa.

Every Jew’s mission is to mitigate judgments and transform them through prayer into a blessing of abundance (shefa).

(Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, Likutei Moharan, lesson 2:8)
