The Joy of the Manna
Inspiration: Today, the 17 of Iyar, is the date when HaShem began to provide Manna for Klal Yisrael in the desert. The Manna, was made of the spiritual food that sustains the angels. It was actually a reflection of the holy Shechinah, the Light of HaShem. What's more, the spiritual splendor of the Manna emanates with the same light that we will receive in the World to Come. In summation, Klal Yisrael, while in the desert, partook of the very spiritual light and joy of the eternal Garden of Eden.
Lesson: The knowledge that the Manna emanated from the very Light of the Shechinah, inspires us to fill our lives with goodness, so that we will merit our share in the eternal joy of the Garden of Eden.
Visualization: Envision yourself eating Manna along with Moshe and the generation that came out of Egypt. As you partake of the Manna sense your body attaining holiness and your soul enjoying the holy Light of the Shechinah. Be inspired to do a special Mitzvah today and bring yourself closer to the eternal light and joy of Gan Eden.
