SF - # Hashem Love for His # Children

The journey is beautiful

“HaShem loves Klal Yisrael like His most precious family” (Micha 7:18). The Midrash (Shir HaShirim) teaches that He calls us “My daughter, My sister, My mother.” Even when we stray, HaShem declares: “How can I punish My children? Their pain is My pain.” As the verse says: “In all their suffering, He suffers with them” (Yeshayahu 63:9). And it is written: “His soul could no longer bear the suffering of Israel” (Shoftim 10).HaShem cannot endure our distress or disgrace—for we are His family. How do we internalize this profound truth? Just as HaShem relates to us as one beloved family, so too, all of Klal Yisrael must see ourselves as one soul. Our neshamot are bound together in a single spiritual essence. Therefore, it is fitting that: A person should desire goodness for his fellow, as for himself. He should rejoice in his friend’s honor as in his own. He should never wish for his friend’s downfall, nor speak ill of him. For in truth, one’s friend is an extension of oneself. This is why HaShem commanded: “Love your fellow as yourself” (Vayikra 19:18). Because we are one “super soul,” love for another is, in essence, love for oneself. Today: Thus, we are called to feel our friend’s pain as our own and to celebrate his joy as our own—just as HaShem feels with us, in both suffering and in blessing.

SF - # The Royal Torah: Sanctifying Leadership with Holiness and Humility

The journey is beautiful

“When the king sits upon his royal throne, he shall write for himself two copies of the Torah… and it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear Hashem…” (Devarim 17:18–19). The king of Israel reflects Malchut, the Divine Kingship, while the Torah embodies Tiferet, the Divine Glory. Just as the moon shines by receiving light from the sun, so too Malchut draws its radiance from Tiferet. When the king of Israel holds the Torah, he unites Malchut with Tiferet, allowing the brilliance of Tiferet to illuminate Malchut. Through Torah study, the king’s holiness rests upon him, strengthening his influence both in Heaven and on earth. Moreover, the sanctity of the king tempers the natural inclination of a ruler to feel superior to his subjects, instilling humility and service. Torah study is a profound remedy, sustaining the spiritual realms above while sanctifying the People of Israel below. Today: Picture King David seated upon his royal throne, holding the Torah close. See the Torah’s light radiating, strengthening the Kingdom of HaShem and sanctifying the king with divine holiness. Let this vision inspire you: deepen your Torah study, and fill your soul with holiness, humility, and radiant light.

SF - #Shema Yisrael: The Eternal Shield of Klal Yisrael

The journey is beautiful

“When you draw near to the battle, the Kohen shall approach and speak to the people: ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are approaching the battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted, do not fear, do not panic, and do not be terrified of them. For HaShem, your G-d, is the One Who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’” The phrase “Hear, O Israel” alludes to the daily declaration of Shema Yisrael, HaShem Elokeinu, HaShem Echad. The Torah teaches that the Jewish army should recite the Shema when going out to war. By declaring the Divine Unity, they awaken the great merit of Klal Yisrael, who faithfully accept G-d’s sovereignty every single day. In this merit, HaShem promises protection from danger and calamity. Chazal further explain that even if a Jew fulfills only the mitzvah of reciting Shema morning and evening, this alone can serve as a shield and safeguard against enemies. The Torah itself protects and preserves Klal Yisrael. The Shema is always on our lips, and its merit is sufficient to shield us and bring salvation—especially in times of distress. Today: Internalize that the prayer of Shema Yisrael is the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of Klal Yisrael. When facing the challenges and “battles” of life, declare: Shema Yisrael, HaShem Elokeinu, HaShem Echad. Draw strength from the awareness that this affirmation of G-d’s unity brings protection and deliverance for you and for all of Klal Yisrael.

SF - # From Imprisonment to # Salvation

The journey is beautiful

When Yoseph was imprisoned in Egypt, he asked the royal cupbearer to intercede on his behalf before Pharaoh. The Torah records: “The cupbearer did not remember Yoseph, and he forgot him.” As a result, Yoseph’s imprisonment was extended for two more years—because he placed his hope in human intervention rather than relying solely on HaShem. Upon realizing his error, Yoseph redirected his trust fully and exclusively to HaShem. At that moment, HaShem orchestrated his release in a miraculous way—through Pharaoh’s dreams. Yoseph’s sudden redemption revealed to all that his salvation came directly from HaShem alone, without any human aid, in fulfillment of the verse: “My joy is in Your salvation.” Today: Reflect on Yoseph’s turning point—when he shifted his heart to trust only in HaShem. The result was immediate: HaShem Himself arranged Yoseph’s freedom in a wondrous manner. Let this inspire you to strengthen your own trust in HaShem, and to rejoice in His salvation, knowing that true deliverance comes from Him alone.
