ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Deveikut

Deveikut is a Jewish concept where a person strives to have a really close and strong connection with God. It's like having a best friend in heaven!

When we do things like praying and studying religious texts, we are trying to create deeper connections with God. We also try to live our lives in a way that makes God happy, by being kind to others, following the rules, and expressing gratitude.

People who really prioritize and work on deveikut feel like God is always with them and supporting them, which can bring a lot of comfort, happiness, and meaning to their lives.
