Rabbi Bernstein suggests that the primary avodah of the third 40-day period associated with teshuvah is working on our consciousness of Hashem, and letting that awareness of Him infuse everything that we think or do. That renewed closeness to Hashem is alluded to in the phrase “lifnei Hashem tit’haru — before Hashem you will be purified.”The “reconciliation” that took place on 29 Av was Hashem’s forgiveness of the punishment for the Cheit Ha’eigel and His grant of permission to Moshe Rabbeinu to fashion a new set of Luchos. When should I think about Hashem?”Perhaps no one in our generation was so successful in instilling G-d-consciousness as Rav Noach. Rabbi Ahron Hoch had learned in the kollels of Chaim Berlin and Mir before ever meeting Rav Noach. He viewed the ideas associated with them as spiritual barbells: The more you think about them, the deeper they enter.
