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!

Miracle All Around

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!

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.

It might be a mitzvah to have a nice home!

When the Previous Rebbe’s grandmother, Rebbetzin Rivkah, was eighteen, she fell ill and the physician ordered her to eat immediately upon awakening. She, however, did not wish to eat before davening, so she davened very early, then ate breakfast.

How Foolish Are You?

We live in blessed times with unique awareness about our inner world. With that comes an increase in anxiety wondering how we can get rid of the narratives that seem to interfere with living in alignment.

Forgetful Leadership

Are you forgetful? Do you ever forget to get something done because it is not on your to do list? Is it possible to get something done in the best possible manner by running away from doing the very thing?

Who's your momma?

At the beginning of this week's Parsha, the Torah gives us the ancestry of Moses and Aaron and their children. It is not the first or the last time the Torah gives us their pedigree. What is different is the association with their mothers as opposed to their fathers.

(Generally in Torah tradition, tribal association is defined by the father, and identity by the mother.)

The Journey Worth Taking

Our journey on this earth can feel taxing and burdensome at times. Yet the great mystics teach that these very challenges are the reason the soul descends into this world in the first place.

Let the Light Lead

There is a strong debate these days about the value of therapy. Therapy is all about the self. Looking into the dark places and trying to decipher their origins. Perhaps the approach ought to be to think less of the self and focus on the actions we need to take. If we take that approach then perhaps the darkness will dissipate on its own

In other words, do we need to resolve the issues that hold us back first or do we need to move forward and let the light guide the way?
