Think back to the last time you had an argument with your friend, co-worker or spouse. What did you feel?
Did you feel far away from them even though they were in the same room?

When a person sin’s it is said that Hashem turns his BACK to the person. When we say that Hashem is BACK-TO-BACK with us, we mean he is spiritually far away due to a lack of similarity and in turn we don’t get the light of the creator. When we preform the MITZVOT we are becoming similar to G-d and binding ourselves to him and it is said that Hashem is FACE-TO-FACE with us.
When the world was created ZA and his SHEKHINAH were BACK-TO-BACK on the account of DINNIM our job is to sweeten the judgments and in turn unite ZA with his SHEKHINAH FACE-TO-FACE so that we can we can receive the light in the form of abundance for the entire year. The process of turning Hashem face-to-face is as follows…
