SF - The Happiest Day of the Year

The journey is beautiful

This week’s Parasha mentions the observance of Yom Kippur. Our Sages tell us (Ta’anit 26b), “There is no better day for Klal Yisrael than Yom Kippur.” Yet, for most of us, it is a solemn day of repentance and introspection. Why is such a serious day considered the best of days?  The Prophet Isaiah admonished Klal Yisrael for being downcast on Yom Kippur: “Can such gloom be the fast I choose, a day when man merely afflicts himself? Can it be merely bowing one’s head like a bulrush and spreading a mattress of sackcloth and ashes?” (Isaiah 58:5). Yom Kippur is a time of judgement, fasting, and repentance. Isn’t the focus of the day to reflect on one’s misdeeds and shortcomings — and to feel a sense of sorrow? In this passage Isaiah reveals what should take place on Yom Kippur, “Isn’t the purpose of this fast that I have chosen to loosen the fetters of wickedness, to undo the bonds of injustice, and to let the oppressed go free and that you break every inner corruption?” Yom Kippur is a time of liberation. It provides us with the opportunity to extricate ourselves from negativity and unfavorable deeds. If we open our hearts to the holy power of Yom Kippur and fill our souls with goodness, compassion, and kindness, the Prophet assures us, “Then your light shall burst forth as the dawn, and your healing shall quickly spring forth, your righteous deed will precede you and the glory of HaShem will gather you in.” The Prophet stirs us to realize that Yom Kippur is a time of joy and celebration. To be sure, there is no greater happiness than forgiveness and redemption. The purpose of serving HaShem is sincere joy and delight. Although certain aspects of Yom Kippur evoke remorse, this is the means and not the end. Through proper observance of Yom Kippur, our spirits our cleansed, our soul elevated, and our hearts filled with elation. (Based on Ohr HaZafun of Rabbi Nosson Zvi Finkel) May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.

SF - There Are No Boundaries in Love

The journey is beautiful

"Love your friend like you love yourself." (Vayikra 19:18) The verse expresses the wonderful ideal to love others with same love that we love ourselves. When we share our wisdom and material possessions with others, we follow the holy way of loving kindness. Still, even when we love others, it is natural to love ourselves more than we love our friends. The Torah instructs to to go beyond human nature, and love other people with the same love that we hold for ourselves.  There are no boundaries in love. Just as we want the very best for ourselves, the Torah elevates us to love, give, and want the very best for our friends. Imagine that you have a key that opens your heart to love others with the same magnitude of love that you love yourself. Envision using the key to unlock your heart. Feel the joy of your love expanding and increasing until your entire heart is filled with unbounded love for others.  (Based on the commentary of the Ramban and Da'as Torah) May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.

SF - Pesach Recharges Our Spiritual Battery

The journey is beautiful

"And HaShem said to Moshe, "'Speak to the Kohanim, the sons of Aaron.'" The Kohanim are holy and their Divine service in the Temple is holy. HaShem was concerned that Kohanim might feel a little haughtiness because of their elevated status. Therefore, HaShem asked Moshe to inform the Kohanim that they have not attained their holiness on their own merit. Rather, their holiness stemmed from Aaron, who granted them the merit of holiness. This understanding gave the Kohanim the proper sense of humility.      All spirituality, good character traits, and Torah wisdom are free gifts that HaShem grants to man. The more we are aware of HaShem's grace and kindness in all of our attainments, the more humility we will acquire.  When you say Shema Yisrael' reflect on the truth that all of your Torah, Mitzvot, and goodness are free gifts given to you by HaShem. The more you practice this reflection, the more humility you will experience. Once you acquire the true sense of humility, you have the foundation of all good character traits.  (Based on the commentary of the Bat Eiyan)  May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.
