SF - The Holy Core of Our Being

The Holy Core of Our Being
 
D'var Torah: One of the greatest treasures of Klal Yisrael is Zechut Avot -- the merit of our Patriarchs -- Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaacov. This merit protects us and grants us favor in HaShem's eyes, even in times when we are not spiritually fit. Nevertheless, there is a good reason why HaShem grants us the gift of Zechut Avot. The holiness and purity of our Patriarchs are attributes which we have inherited and which are embedded deeply in our souls. Therefore, HaShem extends infinite levels of grace and compassion to us because He knows that ultimately, we will discover the pure goodness of our soul.

Moral: Just as our Patriarchs were merciful and kind to all of HaShem's creations, so too, HaShem is infinitely merciful and kind to Klal Yisrael,  the spiritual heirs of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaacov!

Application: Envision Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaacov as three Angels of Goodness protecting Klal Yisrael. Discover your inherent holiness. Be pleasing to Heaven and shine with goodness in your relationships with your fellow human beings. 
(Based on Tomer Devorah, Chapter One, of Rav Moshe Cordevaro)

SF - Never Hurt the Helpless \ Parashat Mishpatim

Never Hurt the Helpless \ Parashat Mishpatim

D'var Torah: "Do do not hurt the feelings of a foreigner or oppress him, for you were foreigners in Egypt" (Shemos 22:20). It is as if HaShem is saying: "Don't mistreat or take advantage of helpless people like foreigners, widows, or orphans, etc., thinking that no one can save them. Remember that you were foreigners enslaved in Egypt. I saw the oppression that the Egyptians imposed on you and I punished them and rescued you from their hand. I see the tears and hear the cries of the oppressed, who have no one to save or comfort them. I save each one of them from the persecutor who is more powerful than they. In addition, since you were foreigners in Egypt, you know that every foreigner feels sad and cries with his eyes directed toward Me. I will have mercy on Him, just as I had mercy on you."

Moral: In the politics of interpersonal relationships, there is a tendency to mistreat those who are disadvantaged. HaShem warns us that the experience of our bondage in Egypt and the miraculous redemption, imbues us with the knowledge that HaShem will always defend the oppressed. Therefore, it is incumbent upon Klal Yisrael to never hurt the feelings or oppress the weak.

Application: Envision an Egyptian taskmaster beating a helpless Jewish slave. The taskmaster is certain that the slave has no recourse to defend himself. See Moshe Rabenu observe the beating. Sense Moshe's heart fill with compassion for his brother. Moshe rescues the slave and slays the cruel Egyptian. Reflect on the verse, "Do do not hurt the feelings of a foreigner or oppress him, for you were foreigners in Egypt." Show sensitivity, respect, to all disadvantaged people, taking care to never hurt or oppress them.
(Based on the commentary of the Ramban to the Torah)

SF - The Love of HaShem and the Torah

The Love of HaShem and the Torah \ Parshat Yitro  

D'var Torah: When HaShem gave the Torah to Klal Yisrael at Mount Sinai, He revealed Himself to them in the attribute of "An Elderly Sage Full of Love and Compassion." When a person gives a gift to his beloved, he does not give love, itself. Rather, his gift is a token of his love. Whereas, when HaShem gave His gift of Torah to Klal Yisrael, He gave love, itself,  because the Torah is pure love!

Moral:  Since the Torah is love, itself, HaShem transmitted it with love. Therefore, at Mount Sinai, HaShem revealed Himself to Klal Yisrael in the attribute of  "An Elderly Sage Full of Love and Compassion."  So too, when we share or teach Torah to others, it is appropriate to transmit the Torah with love and compassion.

Application: Envision a mother nursing her child. See how she gently cradles her baby in her arms, and nurses her child with love and compassion. When you study Torah, sense the love of HaShem that surrounds you.  Experience the compassion of HaShem, when He shares His Torah with you. Let the light of Torah be as pleasant to you, as the sweet milk on the palate of a nursing baby.
(Based on Rashi, Shemos 20:2, Da'as Torah}

SF - My Heart Trusts in HaShem \ Tehillim 28:7

My Heart Trusts in HaShem \ Tehillim 28:7

"HaShem is my shield and my strength, my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped, and my heart rejoices, and I thank Him with my song" (Psalms 28:7).

King David affirms that HaShem is the source of his protection and his strength, and he places his heartfelt trust in HaShem, alone. When HaShem saves David from trouble, King David expresses happiness and gratitude to HaShem, "and my heart rejoices, and I thank Him with my song."

Lesson: King David teaches that our reaction when we are saved from trouble,  reveals whether our trust in HaShem is strong or lacking. If a person's trust is not sincere, he will chalk up good fortune to circumstance. Whereas, if a person's trust in HaShem is strong and real, he rejoices in HaShem when he is saved from trouble.
         Visualization: Envision King David sincerely praying to Hashem, before               battling Goliath. Sense his hope and confidence in Hashem. See him hurl               the stone that slays Goliath. Hear King David sing joyous songs of                         thankfullness and  praise to HaShem. Transpose King David's steadfast trust           to your heart, and rejoice in HaShem.
