| One of the greatest treasures that Klal Yisrael possesses is Zechus Avos—the enduring merit of our holy Patriarchs: Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov. This sacred merit stands as a shield for us, granting favor and protection in the eyes of HaShem—even in times when we may fall short spiritually.
But this gift is not arbitrary. HaShem grants us the merit of the Avos because we carry their spiritual DNA. Their holiness, their kindness, and their unwavering dedication to HaShem are etched into the very core of our souls. It is because of this deep inner connection that HaShem showers us with boundless compassion and grace—knowing that, in time, we will awaken to the pure goodness within ourselves.
Just as Avraham extended kindness to strangers, Yitzchak dug wells of peace, and Yaakov walked with integrity and truth, so too, HaShem mirrors that same mercy toward Klal Yisrael—His children who walk in their path. We are not only the physical descendants of the Avos—we are their spiritual heirs.
Today: Envision Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov as three radiant angels of compassion, surrounding and sheltering Klal Yisrael. See their light shining within you—the light of inherited holiness, compassion, and joy. Feel the warmth of their merit embracing you, and let that awareness inspire you to live a life that is pleasing to Heaven and a blessing to others.
