Lilu'i Nishamot Esther Leah bas Yehudah Yoseph and Meira Leah bas Michael
The Secret of a Peaceful and Long Life \ Ahavat Yisrael
D'var Torah: When the sages asked Rabbi Zera why he merited to live to such a ripe old age, he responded, "I never showed any strictness with my family." , It is amazing that Rabbi Zera, w ith all the possible stressful situations at home, always kept a calm and pleasant demeanor! His pleasantness, gentleness, and sensitivity created a family atmosphere filled with peacefulness, love, and joy. His mastery over his emotions merited him many sweet and productive years of life.
Moral: Staying calm in the face of family challenges, keeps life at home consistently pleasant and grants one HaShem's blessing for a long life.
Application: Prepare yourself to always go easy and "roll with the punches" when dealing with your family. Show them unbounded love, patience and pleasantness -- and enjoy the blessings of peace, joy, and longevity. (Based on Megillah 28a) |
