What Is Apikorsut (Heresy)? The Daily Strengthening Message of Rabbi Eliezer

The daily chizuk of our teacher, the holy Gaon and Tzaddik, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, regarding the importance of speaking with Hashem

Thursday, 10 Kislev 5785, these are his holy words:

Do you not see that Hashem created the world? Do you not see that everything here is..? Electricity.., everything is beyond nature!

So the Rav asks: "Know what to answer an apikorus (heretic)," but the fact that a person does not pray with intent is a sign that there is apikorsut within him!!

Apikorsut is when you cannot pray, you cannot speak with Hashem.

Speak with Hashem; you have two hours to speak with Hashem, three hours. On Shabbat, we begin the prayer at 4:30 and finish at 9:30, five hours—we speak with Hashem for five hours.

We must look forward to this; I will be able to speak with Hashem. I thought to speak with Putin... what, do you think you can stop the war?
