Miracle All Around

InspirationParsha

Mar 6

We are living in truly miraculous times! Unlike the Purim story and throughout our history, we have super powers looking out for the interest of the Jewish People!

The Hand of Hashem is visible to us if our eyes are not closed.

The Sin of the Golden Calf that we read about in this week's Torah portion was a result of the People looking for a physical manifestation of G-d on this earth. After the revelation at Sinai the Jews needed something tangile to hold on to. With Moses on the Mountain, they panicked and that led to them making a molten image.

The state of exile is such that we usually don't see the hand of Hashem. Our job is to look for G-d in all of the things that otherwise would be relegated to chance.

Today we just need to open our eyes and recognize the kindness of Hashem that He is showing us His hand wherever we look.

May Hashem bless us to not fall into our own (Jewish) insecurity (see last week's article) and relegating the events of today to a political agenda.

L'chaim and good Shabbos!

The Hidden Light Within the Darkness

These are dark days. I'm not referring to the state of the world. We definitely live in a challenging world, but I choose to look at the bright side of things.

I'm referring to the season of the Jewish calendar in which we now find ourselves.

Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing

Life is hectic. Information comes at us faster than we can possibly process it. Podcasts to listen to. Books to read. Emails to answer. School forms. Family responsibilities. Date nights. Work. Errands. The list never seems to end.

So what is really important?

Happy 250th America!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that for the first time since the days of King Solomon, Jews truly have it good. We have much to be grateful for, especially for the freedoms and opportunities this country has provided.

Gratitude is one of Judaism's most fundamental values. In fact, each morning, before we even get out of bed, we begin our day by expressing thanks:

A Frustrated Rabbi

The Rebbe often instructed his Chasidim to avoid politics. Not because we lack backbone, for who greater than the Rebbe stood up for the Jewish People, faced the fears that many post war Jews carried and moved the Jewish People forward.

Our mission is the Jewish People. Our mission is connection. Our mission is the Torah. Our mission is the Mitzvah.

Delayed, Not Diminished

This Monday I had the honor to travel to NY, post the Rebbe's Yurzeit on 3 Tammuz to visit the Ohel.

We finished early and since I'm very smart I decided to change my flight from 8:30 to leave a little earlier to the 6 PM flight.

Argue More. Resent Less.

We live in a culture that treats conflict as a disease. If people disagree, someone must be wrong. If there is tension, we assume something has gone terribly awry.

But Judaism sees it differently.

The Rebbe's Answer to an Age of Uncertainty

Are you unsettled inside? Anxiety, discontent, discomfort?Who isn't? Today's therapeutic brain science tells us that in early childhood our sense of self is formed.

Independent Times

Perhaps more than any other time in history we live in the era of the individual. Old norms, old structures are being replaced without revolutions. Regular folk making decisions on how they can disrupt industries are succeeding and the world is changing with it.

Shameless Rabbi's

Seven Rabbis were summoned late at night for an early morning exclusive session to determine if the year should be interlocated (fancy word for adding a month - a Jewish Leap Year) as is proscribed. Eight Rabbi's showed up. This is not the beginning of a joke. True story Talmud Sanhedrin.

Buff Humility

Neither the bent over suffering depictions of Jews by anti-semitic cartoonists, nor the image of the modern Jew the buff warrier are the authentic depictions of either the Torah's value nor the true meaning of greatness.
