The Secret of Jewish Success
HaShem offered the Torah to all of the nations before he offered it to Klal Yisrael. Each nation asked what laws were written in the Torah. HaShem told them, "Do not steal," "do not kill," etc. When they heard the laws, they told HaShem that they could not possibly comply with them. This is astonishing! HaShem told them the universally accepted laws of morality. They gave up the precious Torah in order to hold on to immorality! Whereas, Klal Yisrael recognized the significance of Torah, and immediately accepted it.
Lesson: In general, man is blinded by his own self-limitation from seeing the truth. Whereas, Klal Yisrael focuses on HaShem and His supreme goodness. This perspective gives us the wisdom to expand our horizons and accept HaShem's holy laws with love.
Visualization: Envision all the nations of the world unwisely rejecting the Torah. See Klal Yisrael following their intuitive goodness and accepting the Torah with great joy! Strengthen your love for Torah and enhance your life, your personal relationships. and come close to the Light of HaShem!
