The “Unetaneh Tokef” (The 'siluk´prayer-poem)

The “Unetaneh Tokef”
(By D.L. Siluk)

The “Unetaneh Tokef” is a liturgical (relating to worship) poem, known as ‘The Siluk Prayer’ (in poetic form)—written by one of Judaism’s leading Torah authorities, Rabbi Yitzchak ben Moshe of Vienna 1189-1250 AD, whom was a student of Rabbi Avraham ben Aziel (Germany). He died at the age of 70. In Aramaic, the ‘siluk’ prayer-poem means ascension. Its main function is to rise, or lift up the requester to a higher level. It has been said, one’s soul can be raised up unto God, if his heart is pure, and he is earnest in his prayer; and his life too. In the composition, God takes note, as one declares God’s actions to be just, if indeed, the worshiper’s heart is free to say so.
The author, has used this prayer, and can vouch for its nature—its holiness; it is the highest form of ascension to the presence of God a human can acquire. When the author had finished his prayer (referring to an event in 1983), within a mist, a hand appeared, in front of him, so pure, it radiated with light and filled the whole room. He felt he could disappear and be with God, Himself. Yet, it was not his time. So taken in was he, he did not want to leave the room. And like Doubting Thomas, he reached to touch it, and his hands went through the mist and pure light as a plane going through a white cloud.
To deny there is a God (at least to this author) is silly, when he visited you.
