| Refuah Shleimah to Esther Shifra bas Rivka
“Rabbi Gamliel said: ‘Make for yourself a Rav, and remove yourself from doubt.’”
The Sages teach that there is no joy greater than the joy of resolving uncertainty. Doubt weighs heavily on the heart, clouding our judgment and draining our peace of mind. In His kindness, HaShem provides us with wise and compassionate Rabbis—teachers who possess the knowledge, experience, and clarity to guide us through life’s questions.
For this reason, the Torah instructs us to “make for yourself a Rav,” meaning to choose a mentor whose wisdom you trust, so that you can be free from the burden of confusion.
When we turn to a Rabbi for direction, we gain more than just an answer. We gain stability, confidence, and the uplifting happiness that comes from knowing the correct path. A life guided by Torah wisdom is a life illuminated and secure.
Seeking guidance from your Rav dispels doubt and brings a deep, incomparable sense of happiness and inner calm.
Today: Whenever you find yourself puzzled or unsure, reach out to your Rabbi—who cares for you, listens to you, and helps you see clearly. Through his wise counsel, you will experience relief, clarity, and renewed joy. (Based on Pirkei Avos 1:14)I |
