May HaShem Send You Holiness \ Parashat Acharei Meit Kadoshim
D'var Torah: "May He send your help from holiness, and may He strengthen you from Zion" (Tehillim 20). It seems more correct to say, "May He send His help from holiness." Rather, the verse states "your help" to reveal a very important lesson. "May He send your help from holiness" implies that HaShem helps each individual person to sanctify and elevate himself. Specifically on each and every Shabbat HaShem illuminates every Jewish person with a "Nishama Yeteira," an additional dimension of holiness. Moral: The six days of creation correspond to the natural laws of the universe. Whereas, the holiness of Shabbat is above the natural laws. Shabbat brings the power of renewal to the entire creation, by connecting all of Klal Yisrael to HaShem, the holy Creator.
Application: Sense the extra dimension of holiness that HaShem grants you on Shabbat. Reflect on the wonder that HaShem, sanctifies you on Shabbat. Enjoy your "Nishama Yeteira," and experience new vistas of holiness, happiness, and closeness to HaShem. (Based on the commentary of the S'fat Emet to the Torah ) |
