There are 55 wounded soldiers and officers in hospitals nationwide at this time.
Our world is a reflection of the world above. Everything above, all that transpires in the spiritual realm is from us, dependent on our conduct. It is written Pirkei Avos (2:1), “…. dah mah lima’alah mee’mcha… (Know what is above of you…).” There are many angles to learn this Mishnah. We will explore one very relevant to current times.
The Maggid of Mezritch ztk’l, the foremost disciple of the Ba’al Shem Tov HaKadosh teaches: Dah, Know – מה, mah, what, can also be read as מ- ‘ה from Hashem – ממך, mee’mcha, is from you. Our behavior down below is a direct mirror of what goes on in the upper realms.
When we move our bodies we are moving our spiritual counterpart in Shamayim. In Tehillim (121:5) it is written: “Hashem is your shadow,” meaning our actions mirror, so to speak, the nature of the influence that flows from Hashem to the world. Our thoughts, speech and actions bring about direct changes and have a profound ripple affect.
This is a vital insight into our times. Many women ask I don’t know what I am supposed to ‘work on’ and improve to increase the merits for Klal Yisrael… for myself and my family. Hashem responds to us as a shadow; measure for measure. I must assume responsibility whether I live in Israel or not for what is happening in the Jewish land. Whether we live in S’derot or Tel-Aviv Hashem is making sure that we are all affected by the fear of rocket missiles. The welfare of every Jew is and has always been dependent on ‘me’.
There is strife and war with Arabs residing on our own soil; within the borders of Eretz Yisrael. A possible remedy: work on harmony within ‘your land’; within the four walls of your home. We are alarmed upon hearing a ‘red alert’ siren of incoming rockets, c’v. Maybe we’ve been sleeping, not paying attention to the purpose of life. Maybe we weren’t and still aren’t aware that the geula is just about ready to ‘rock’ and ‘hit’ our world and B’H lift us to another place in history…
