The Merit of our Patriarchs
One of the greatest treasures of Klal Yisrael is Zechus Avos -- the merit of our Patriarchs -- Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaacov. This merit stands to protect us and grant us favor in HaShem's eyes, even in times when we are not spiritually fit. However, there is a good reason why HaShem grants us the gift of Zechus Avos. We have inherited the holiness and purity of our Patriarchs, and it is embedded deeply in our souls. Therefore, HaShem extends infinite dimensions of grace and compassion to us because He knows that ultimately we will discover the pure goodness of our soul. Lesson: Just as our Patriarchs were merciful and kind to all of HaShem's creations, so too, HaShem is infinitely merciful and kind to Klal Yisrael, the spiritual heirs of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaacov! Visualization: Envision Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaacov as three Angels of Goodness protecting Klal Yisrael. Discover your inherent holiness. Be pleasing to Heaven and shine with goodness to your fellow man. (Based on Tomer Devorah, Chapter One, of Rav Moshe Cordevaro) To receive Salant Emails please send "request" to salantorg@gmail.com
