After the man has addressed his prayer to Heaven, the Shekhinah joins herself to him, and he may then set out.

According to the Zohar, the great book of Jewish mysticism, whoever prays before setting out on the road is never alone: the Shekhinah, the divine Presence, joins them and accompanies them throughout their journey. Today, before leaving home or beginning a trip, take a few seconds for a short prayer, and go forward knowing you are accompanied.
