SF - Is He Not Your Father, Your Master?

"Is He not your Father, your Master? Has He not created you and not established you?" (Devarim 32:6). Throughout our history we have always enjoyed a complete spectrum of spiritually talented people. This completeness of Klal Yisrael is not a coincidence. It was lovingly prepared for us by HaShem from the beginning of our existence. Out of the midst of Klal Yisrael emerged priests, Levites, prophets, and kings. The Torah divulges that if a nation needs to "import its talent" it is not a flourishing nation. Klal Yisrael is a self-contained nation, a precious treasure of endless depths.

There is no other nation in the world that does not have to import advisors from other nations. Yet from our very inception, HaShem planned and prepared for Klal Yisrael an abundant source of all the elements needed to create a total spiritual nation.

Reflect on the endless stream of illustrious leaders of our people throughout our history -- from Avraham Avinu to the Chofetz Chaim. Consider how HaShem has prepared us for success from ancient times until today. Each Jew is specially gifted so that the contribution of each member of Klal Yisrael blends together to form a spiritually perfect nation. Recognize the special quality in yourself, and in others, that forms us into the most treasured nation.
