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!

Spaceship. Lifeboat. Crew

I am not particularly interested in outer space.

There, I said it, and it feels like a confession. For someone my age—Gen X, raised on rockets and Reagan and the promise of “the final frontier”—I’m aware this borders on heresy.

Carrying Pesach Forward

Although Pesach is over, the aura of the holiday and the spiritual effects of the Matzah and Wine remain inside of us having become part of who we are.

FREEDOM!

The idea of imagining slavery or being kept hostage is not a foreign idea. These past two + years we have lived with the plight of the hostages, their suffering, their release and now their stories.

Every Generation, Every Day

One of the most familiar passages of the Haggadah, a quote from a Mishna reads, "in every generation one is required to see themselves as if they left Egypt".

It's All Up To Your Insides

When was the last time you brought an animal sacrifice?

In the opening of the third book of the Torah we are introduced to the Mitzvah of sacrifices. We know the Torah is eternal and its application is at all times.

A War Time Reminder

This week we end the second book of the Torah - Shemos. As is the tradition we announce and call up on strength three times - Chazak Chazak Vinischazek - be strong, be strong and be strengthened. In Jewish teachings, three creates a permanence and enforces.

Jewish Insecurity

In a conversation recently with someone regarding the tension between the USA/Israel and Iran, I made a comment that the Iranian's are crazy and have a death wish.

A Very Special Animal Soul

The following is a story that I heard from my niece's new father in law - Rabbi Aryeh Solomon - at their Sheva Brachos last Shabbos.

Before my Yechidus (private audience), I prepared a Tzettel (a note) to give to the Rebbe, as was customary. In it I wrote about who I was, where I was holding in life, and what I hoped to accomplish in the future.

Idealistic Boundaries 2026

Idealism is a blessing and also totally unrealistic. Oh, I don't intend to throw the baby out with the bathwater. No, Idealism is what has brought change to the world. Idealism has brought so much good to the world. But it only works when it moves out of its idealistic space into reality.
