Purim and Accepting the Torah With Love
Our Sages tell us that the miracles of Purim inspired Klal Yisrael to accept the Torah with love! The Jewish people who experienced the miracle of Purim realized that the events of every day life are the consequences of our actions. When we fulfill the Torah we are blessed. In light of this awareness, they willingly decided to fulfill the Torah with love and gain its awesome rewards. Lesson: The realization that the events of our lives are hidden miracles that are brought about by our actions, inspires us to accept and fulfill the Torah with joy. App: Consider how the events of our lives correspond to our relationship to the Torah and its Mitzvot. Dedicate yourself to follow the ways of HaShem, and connect to the Source of goodness, light, and joy. (Based on Chochmah U'Mussar of the Saba M'Kelm)
