SF - Purifying Waters

Purifying Waters

"Rabbi Akiva said, 'Fortunate are you, the people of Israel. In whose presence are you purified? Your Father in Heaven purifies you!'" How wonderful is it for each one of us to know that HaShem considers us His children, and He is our merciful Father! If HaShem had not revealed His special love for Klal Yisrael, we might feel embarrassed to do Teshuvah. However, since HaShem loves us as our Father, we are encouraged to seek His forgiveness.  

Lesson: A father loves his child unconditionally. Therefore, no matter what a child has done, he knows that his father will love him and forgive him. The knowledge of HaShem's great Fatherly love for Klal Yisrael, gives us the confidence to do Teshuvah, and receive His forgiveness, acceptance, and love. 

Visualization:
Envision a loving parent place his child in a warm bath, and gently wash him with the most fragrant soap. Reflect that HaShem, our merciful Father, purifies us with great kindness. Be inspired knowing that just as the waters of a Mikveh purify, so too, HaShem lovingly purifies Klal Yisrael.
(Based on Yoma and Tomer Devorah, as explained by Rav Yitzchak Blazer, Cochvei Ohr)
