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!

Playing Hard To Get

"Ani l'dodi v'dodi li." I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine. This is the verse from Song of Songs whose initial Hebrew letters spell out the Hebrew month of Elul, the month we are currently in.

In the book of Song of Songs, we read the poetic story of a young maiden and her beloved shepherd, and the fascinating progression of their courtship.

Don’t Waste the Discomfort - Preparing for Rosh Hashanah 5787

I've never related to people who dislike the marking of theirbirthday. I find my birthday to be a joyous and positively uplifting day. Conversely, there are those who find rainy days to be uplifting and nourishing :-).

An Elul Love Story

It is spring in the Land of Israel. The rain has stopped, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the smell of spring wafts through the air. A young maiden goes out to the vineyards for some fresh air and encounters a handsome-looking shepherd.

Standing on the Roots of Those Who Came Before Us

Even though they’re dead, they are not gone — they continue to find a way to help others out postmortem. These fallen giants provide “generational facilitation” in the afterlife, they continue to offer safety, nurture, love and protection from outside unhealthy influences, thus nurturing and making way for the new generation.

My Journey of Accepting Criticism

Adam was created from the dust (Chava from Adam's side). It has been said that this is the reason that men are defensive and a bit ego focused. After all, when they look back to their origins, it is just a mound of earth - not a very auspicious pedigree.

When Darkness Touches the Soul

The Talmud tells a story about Rabbi Akiva and his colleagues. They were traveling to Jerusalem and arrived at Mount Scopus. When they arrived, they all tore their clothing.

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.
