"The sparks of Moshe Rabenu shine upon the head of every Ba'al Teshuvah to help them." (Sefer Haredim) This statement is astounding! Why is it necessary for the sparks of Moshe Rabenu to shine upon the head of every Ba'al Teshuvah to help them?
King David said, "Happy is the nation that is like this to Him; Happy is the nation whose G-d is HaShem" (Tehillim 144:15).What secret did King David reveal by using the word שככה ("like this")?King David hinted to us that ״שככה״ is the same numerical equivalent of Moshe (345)! Meaning, he was referring to Moshe when he wrote "שככה".
Now we understand!" Happy is the nation" -- that have "the sparks of Moshe Rabenu shining upon their heads to help them do Teshuvah; "Happy is the nation whose G-d is HaShem."
The sparks of Moshe Rabenu shine upon the heads of the Ba'alie Teshuvah to help them overcome their nature and fulfill the will of HaShem! How much inspiration and encouragement we gain by knowing that Moshe Rabenu is with us in our efforts to advance in the process of Teshuvah! (Based on Sefer Haradim, Chapter 70) |
