SF - # Preserving the Future

NEW: See Bottom of Page: "Ask the Rabbi"


"If you come across a bird’s nest... you shall surely send away the mother, and the young you may take for yourself, so that it may go well with you and you may long endure." (Ki Tzeitzei 22:6-7)


The Mitzvah of Shiluach HaKen (sending away the mother bird) applies specifically to wild birds. Unlike those we raise at home, wild creatures are vulnerable to the harsh realities of nature and the risk of extinction. By sending away the mother, we perform an act of global kindness—preserving the species and ensuring the "circle of life" continues.


One might wonder: "How does sparing a single bird change the world?" The Seforno teaches us that the world is sustained through collective action. When we all act with such sensitivity, we ensure that no species vanishes due to human consumption.


If HaShem promises the profound reward of "goodness and long life" for showing sensitivity to a bird, imagine the magnitude of the blessing when we act with kindness toward a fellow human being. Every small gesture of preservation and care is a seed planted for a blessed and lengthy future.

Moral: Every creation has a place in HaShem’s world. When we protect life and show sensitivity to the "big picture," we align ourselves with Divine mercy.


3 Practical Exercises


1. The "Big Picture" Pause


The Seforno emphasizes that our actions affect the entire species.

  • The Exercise: Once today, before you use a resource (food, paper, water, or even energy), pause for five seconds. Acknowledge that this resource comes from HaShem’s world.
  • The Goal: To move from "consuming" to "stewarding." By acknowledging the source, you transform a physical act into a spiritual act of preserving the world’s dignity.


2. "Sending Away" a Grievance

Just as we send the mother bird away to let life continue, we often hold onto "grudges" or "critiques" that stifle the growth of others.

  • The Exercise: Identify one person you have been critical of lately. "Send away" that negative thought or criticism. Instead of "taking" their dignity by pointing out a flaw, intentionally offer them a word of encouragement that helps them "stand tall."
  • The Goal: To preserve the emotional well-being of a fellow Jew, mirroring the preservation of the bird's life.


3. The Kindness of Longevity

The Torah rewards this Mitzvah with "long life."

  • The Exercise: Perform a "hidden" favor for someone—something that won't give you immediate credit or "payback," but will benefit them in the long run (like clearing a tripping hazard, or making an anonymous introduction for a job seeker).
  • The Goal: To act with the same selflessness required in Shiluach HaKen, where the reward isn't found in the moment, but is stored up by HaShem as "goodness and length of days."

SF - # The Purim Lesson of Love

NEW: See Bottom of Page: "Ask the Rabbi"


Haman was a very mean dude,

He wanted to kill HaShem's children, the entire brood.

 

Yet it was only Mordecai who refused to bow down.

So why did he want to kill every Jew in town?

 

Haman had an anger issue; he was out of control.

He was an evil monster without heart and soul.

 

Mordecai rallied the Jews to fast, cry, and pray.

He teamed up with Queen Esther, who saved the day.

 

When the smoke cleared, the Jews danced with joy,

And they thanked HaShem for neutralizing the "boy."

 

They said, "There is a great lesson to learn.

Anger is poison that must always be spurned."

 

So we spread love on Purim, and we give gifts to our friends.

And with compassion in our hearts, charity we send.

 

We fill our hearts with kindness and love for one and all.

Have a HAPPY  Purim and remember -- every Jew should always stand tall.


Practical Exercises

To turn these words into action, try these three exercises focused on the "Lesson of Love":


1. The "Mishloach Manot" Bridge-Builder


The poem mentions spreading love to friends. This Purim, identify one person in your community with whom you’ve had a minor disagreement or "chilled" relationship. Make them a priority on your Mishloach Manot (gift basket) list.

  • The Goal: To use the holiday as a tool to dissolve friction and replace it with a gesture of peace.


2. The "Stand Tall" Affirmation

The poem ends with the call for every Jew to "stand tall." Spend five minutes in quiet reflection or group discussion focusing on a moment this year when you felt proud of your heritage.

  • The Goal: Write down one way you can "stand tall" in your daily life—whether through a mitzvah, a kind word, or learning Torah—to counter the "fear" Haman tried to instill.
