SF - Shine With Dignity

Shine With Dignity

Once after Hillel finished his Torah lecture, he told his students that he is going to perform "the Mitzvah of bathing in the bathhouse." They asked, "Is bathing a Mitzvah?" He explained, "An earthly king appoints a special assistant to clean the royal statues that are formed in the likeness of the king. How much more so, is it a Mitzvah for man, who he is created in HaShem's likeness, to honor the King by washing his face."

Lesson: The holy Image of HaShem and His goodness shines upon the countenance of man. Therefore, it is a Mitzvah for man to honor HaShem, by cleansing his face so that his countenance projects the pure Image of HaShem.

Visualization: Envision the holy sages Hillel washing his face with the intention of honoring HaShem. When you wash your face remind yourself that you are created in the Image of Hashem. Contemplate on your inner purity, goodness, and holiness. Shine with the dignity and nobility of one who is created in the Image of HaShem.
