Скачать или смотреть Parshat Vaetchanan: What does it mean to love Hashem?

Rambam (Maimonides) views love of G-d as the result of intellectual reflection. In Yesodei HaTorah 2:2, he says that contemplating the greatness and wisdom of creation leads a person to be filled with love and awe for God. This path requires deep thought — through science, astronomy, or understanding the natural world — to inspire this love.
However the most traditional approach is to love Hashem on an emotional level, and most importantly to fulfil His Will because of this love. The Torah speaks in human terms to shape moral and emotional attitudes. The Torah uses language of emotions — like G-d being angry, loving, rejoicing, grieving — so that people can better relate to Him.
