SF - # The Power of Prayer at the Edge of Despair

The journey is beautiful

When the angels arrived in Sodom to destroy the city, it seemed that the fate of the city was sealed. Nevertheless, Avraham prayed for mercy and beseeched HaShem to spare the city. The reason for Avraham's reliance in HaShem's mercy is found in the Torah axiom: "Even if the sword is resting on your neck, do not desist praying for mercy." Even when calamity is about to strike an amoral society, it is never too late to seek HaShem's mercy. How much more so, is it appropriate for those who are pleasing to HaShem to always trust HaShem and rely on His mercy. Envision that your trust in HaShem is like a young sapling and see it grow into a mighty cedar tree with its branches stretching to Heaven.

SF - # Avraham's Greatest Joy

The journey is beautiful

When Avraham Avinu arrived in Eretz Yisrael, he merited an exalted and transformative prophecy. HaShem promised him two of the greatest blessings a person could receive: that he would be the father of a great nation and that his descendants would inherit the Land of Israel. Overwhelmed by HaShem’s kindness, Avraham bowed in gratitude and offered heartfelt thanks. Yet, as the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh teaches, Avraham’s deepest joy and thanksgiving were not for these magnificent promises. Rather, his greatest happiness was for the Divine revelation itself—that the holy Shechinah had appeared to him and spoken directly with him. For Avraham, no material or even spiritual reward could compare to the experience of closeness with HaShem. To Avraham, the promise of children and land was secondary to the supreme joy of sensing the Divine Presence. His soul yearned for attachment to HaShem above all else. The revelation of the Shechinah was, to him, the truest treasure—the essence of life itself. Avraham’s love of HaShem was so pure and selfless that his joy in receiving the revelation of the Shechinah far surpassed the joy of being told that he would have descendants who would inherit Eretz Yisrael. His heart overflowed not because of the blessings he would receive, but because of the nearness of HaShem Himself. Imagine yourself standing in the Beis HaMikdash, enveloped by the radiance of the Shechinah—the very Presence of HaShem resting upon you. Feel the light, the peace, and the boundless love that fill your heart and soul. If even a moment of such closeness could be felt, it would outweigh all worldly joy. Let Avraham Avinu’s example inspire us to seek not only HaShem’s blessings, but HaShem Himself. (Based on the Ohr HaChaim HaKodesh) Donate May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.

SF - # Becoming a Source of Blessings

The journey is beautiful

“And You Shall Be a Blessing” (Bereishis 12:2) This verse reveals that HaShem transferred the power of bestowing blessings to Avraham. Until this point, HaShem Himself had blessed Adam, Noach, and Avraham. Now, however, HaShem granted Avraham the unique merit to bless whomever he chose. Why did HaShem entrust this sacred power to a human being? Because Avraham Avinu perfected the trait of loving-kindness. His heart overflowed with love for every person, and he continuously performed acts of kindness for all of HaShem’s creations. Since Avraham’s heart pulsed with pure love and compassion, HaShem deemed him worthy to become the conduit through which blessings would flow to all of mankind. The love, care, and joy that fill our hearts for others awaken the power of our own blessings. Today: Envision Avraham lovingly extending his blessings to you and to all of Klal Yisrael. Feel the “blessings of Avraham” bringing limitless goodness into your life. Strive to emulate Avraham’s boundless love and compassion, so that sweet blessings for others may constantly flow from your own heart. (Based on Rashi, as explained in Da’as Torah) Would you like me to adapt it for spoken delivery (e.g., for a drasha or class), or keep it in this written essay style? HaShem blesses us that we may be worthy to bring joy and delight to Him. In this light, HaShem said to Avraham, “You shall be a blessing”—meaning, you will be a blessing to Me, for through your righteousness and faith, you will achieve spiritual perfection and guide all humanity to walk in the ways of HaShem. Your life will become a living example of holiness and kindness, inspiring others to recognize and serve their Creator. HaShem regarded Avraham as a true blessing because Avraham’s influence would awaken others to live in a manner that brings pleasure to HaShem. Strive to be a “blessing to HaShem” in your own life—by inspiring your family, friends, and community to deepen their love for Torah, strengthen their observance of mitzvos, and bring greater light and holiness into the world. (Based on the commentary of the Seforno to Parshas Lech Lecha) Donate May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.
