SF - Happiness is the Beginning of Spirituality \ Parashat Ki Tavo

Happiness is the Beginning of Spirituality \ Parashat Ki Tavo 

D'var Torah: "And you shall rejoice with all the good that HaShem, your 
G-d, has given you and your household" (Devarim 26:11).  The phrase, "And you shall rejoice with all the good" holds a great secret. That is, "All the good" alludes to HaShem, Himself, Who embraces all goodness. In His unbounded love for man, HaShem requires us to rejoice by recognizing that we are connected to HaShem, the very Source of all good. And how is this happiness attained? By reflecting on the fact that HaShem is the Source of all goodness. He lovingly grants each one of us constant all-encompassing goodness, as a free gift. Indeed, His supreme goodness flows upon us with countless blessings, kindness, and enlightenment.   

Moral: The beginning of spirituality is our awareness that our Creator commands us to be happy! What's more, we fulfill this commandment to rejoice in HaShem by recognizing the love that HaShem, the Source of good, constantly showers upon us.

Application: Reflect on the fact that HaShem cares about us so much that He requires us to attain happiness by recognizing His incomparable goodness. Envision King David singing to HaShem: "It is good to thank HaShem, and to sing to Your Name, O exalted One. To tell of Your kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness in the evening. Upon a lyre and lute, with singing accompanied by a harp. For You have given me joy, HaShem, with Your deeds, at the work of Your hands I sing a joyous song!" (Tehillim 92).

SF - The Incomparable Power of Faith \ Trust and Tranquility

The Incomparable Power of Faith \ Trust and Tranquility

D'var Torah: "Trust in HaShem is the single most important requirement needed to serve HaShem" (Duties of the Heart). This concise statement is a spiritual sun that illuminates the path of Torah and Mitzvot. Trust in HaShem is the key factor that leads to spiritual success, and it is infinitely more important  than intelligence, effort, wealth, or status! For example, the trust in HaShem of our holy Avot, Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaacov, granted them the knowledge of the entire Torah, even before HaShem revealed the Torah on Mount Sinai. In light of this, every person, regardless of his challenges, has the opportunity to excel in serving HaShem. The more we strengthen our trust in HaShem,  the more we are empowered to advance in our service of HaShem. 

Moral: Spirituality is like the flight of a bird.  As long as the bird flaps his wings he ascends to heaven, yet when he makes no effort to climb upwards he descends. So too, as long as we strengthen our trust in HaShem, the closer we come to HaShem and the more joy we experience. 

Application: Envision Avraham Avinu as a young child living in a society of pagans. See him contemplate on the universe and recognize the kind Creator. Each day he strengthens his faith and trust in HaShem a little more. Ultimately, he emerges with towering, unshakeable faith in HaShem. In return for his extraordinary faith, HaShem blesses him boundless blessings. He merits to be the progenitor of Klal Yisrael, a Prophet, and the innovator of loving kindness.

SF - Five Steps to Happiness \ Parashat Ki Tavo

Five Steps to Happiness \ Parashat Ki Tavo

D'var Torah: "Because you did not serve HaShem, your G-d, with happiness...." (Devarim 28:47). As long as a person fulfills the Mitzvot, what difference does it make whether he serves HaShem with happiness or not? Imagine someone who owns a nice house, and takes on a project to build a second home. Since there is nothing compelling him to build the house, he will put the project on the "back burner." Conversely, someone who is without a home, will put his full energy into completing the project as soon as possible. Likewise if a person does not impress upon himself the bounty of blessings that HaShem grants him for each Mitzvah that he performs, his Divine service will be "lukewarm." Whereas, a person who is aware of the incomparable reward of each Mitzvah, pursues his Mitzvot with great happiness, strength and dedication. 

Moral: The first step in preparing ourselves to serve HaShem, is to power our Mitzvot with happiness by reflecting on the countless blessings, beauty, and pleasantness that we acquire with each Mitzvah, both in this world, as well as, the eternal World to Come.   

Application: (1) Envision the sublime joy that filled King David's heart and soul with each Mitzvah that he performed. (2) Transpose King David's joy of serving HaShem to your heart and soul. (3) Visualize that the light of Gan Eden  shines upon you with each Mitzvah that you perform. (4) Perform your Mitzvot with happiness, vibrancy, and passion. (5) Reap supreme blessings, benefits, and reward both here in this world as well as your eternal life in Gan Eden.

SF - The Beauty of Mercy \ The Secrets of the Torah

The Beauty of Mercy \ The Secrets of the Torah

D'var Torah: The Mitzvah of "Shiluach HaKein -- sending away the mother bird -- is one of the most esoteric passages of the Torah.  Surely it holds a profound and meaningful secret. When a person comes across a lovely bird in a field,  it will surely fly out of his grasp if he tries to capture it.  Yet, there is one situation in which even the fastest bird does not fly away. That is, a bird that is sitting on the nest, tending to her young. Her mercy upon her young overpowers her instinct to fly away when threatened, and therefore she could easily be captured. In light of this, the Torah commands us not to take advantage of her mercy on her young. Rather, give up your attempt to capture the bird by doing the opposite --  send her away to freedom.   

Moral: Be sensitive to a person, or any living creature, who is in a vulnerable state.  Even more, be merciful to one who is showing mercy to someone else. 

Application: Envision a mother bird sitting on a nest, caring for her young. See how easily you are able to capture the bird who is mercifully looking out for her young. Internalize this lesson and be sensitive and compassionate to all HaShem's creations. Rejoice in knowing that just as you show mercy to others, HaShem will show mercy to you.
