Chasidut su Geremia 31:20
הֲבֵן֩ יַקִּ֨יר לִ֜י אֶפְרַ֗יִם אִ֚ם יֶ֣לֶד שַׁעֲשֻׁעִ֔ים כִּֽי־מִדֵּ֤י דַבְּרִי֙ בּ֔וֹ זָכֹ֥ר אֶזְכְּרֶ֖נּוּ ע֑וֹד עַל־כֵּ֗ן הָמ֤וּ מֵעַי֙ ל֔וֹ רַחֵ֥ם אֲֽרַחֲמֶ֖נּוּ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ (ס)
Efraim è un figlio caro per me? È un bambino che viene fatto ballare? Per tutte le volte che parlo di lui, lo ricordo seriamente ancora; Perciò il mio cuore lo desidera ardentemente, avrò sicuramente compassione di lui, dice l'Eterno.

And now, if you have internalized our words up to here and want to hear further about the path that you will climb towards God and the means through which you will connect to Torah and divine service - then we can already hope that in the end, you will, God willing, reach the state in which it will be said about you, "You are a dear son to Me, a child that is dandled! For whenever I speak of him, I earnestly remember him still. I will surely have mercy on him" (see Jeremiah 31:19).

This is *the fire of love* of which it says (Song_of_Songs.8.7) "Many waters cannot quench the love." As we find (Sotah 21a), "A sin extinguishes a mitzvah, but does not extinguish Torah." (The Sages (Vayikra_Rabbah.2.3) similarly expounded the verse (Jeremiah.31.20) "A darling child to Me is Ephraim... whenever I just speak with him" -- "sufficient is My Speaking that I placed within him.") And it says (Jeremiah.23.29) "My words are like fire, declares the Lord."
