There’s well-known statement in Chassidus that “it is the nature of G-d, to do good.” That is how He has constructed this world we live in. For those that choose to follow His rule book, the good will flow immediately. For those that do not, the good will not flow, but even more, the punishment will only come later so as to give us enough time to find the right path. By delaying punishment, HaShem allows us the necessary time we need to find the right ways to walk in. For some it’s a few minutes. For others, it’s a whole life until they realise the error of their ways.

May we merit to know and walk in the path of truth and peace.

Based on the teachings of Rebbe Elimelech of Lizensk. Those cliches of Love at first sight or Beauty is in the eye of the beholder have roots in Judaism and can be seen in the very first line of this weeks portion.

Getting where you want to be in life isn’t easy. Especially given all our cravings and desires that might pull us astray. But once again, the Torah comes to illuminate the path. Combined with my experiences at work, we can start to understand hires best to serve HaShem and reach our goals in life.

Parsha Nasso / Shavuot

Jewish time is not linear, it’s cyclical; meaning that each year we go up. Not just temporally, but also spiritually. And the Jewish Holy Days are days of immense growth and cosmic shifts, if we know what they’re about and how to access them. I hope you enjoy this little teaching adapted from Rav Akiva Tatz.

There is an inherent order to the world that G-d has created. This Sefer opens up by detailing some aspects of that order. What we can learn from it can help us through life in many ways.

The portion discusses Aharon HaKohen’s job of lighting the menorah in the temple. It also goes into detail on the laws of Pesach Sheini. Drilling down into some of the unique language of the Torah we are able to draw out a beautiful teaching brought to us by none other than the legendary Baal Shem Tov. Why does Moshe tell the men who were impure during Pesach to remain standing by him as he asks HaShem what they should do into order to fulfill the Pesach requirement?

The Torah opens this 4th book of the Torah by reminding us that the Jews are in the Sinai desert. Understanding that the Torah is a Divine text that does not waste a single letter, the sages question why the word Sinai is repeated? We all know that the Jews were in the Sinai desert. It’s been told to us already. So why repeat the word? And more importantly, what is the Torah trying to teach us by repeating it. The Baal HaTurim offers a novel insight and Rav Shmuel Silber helps us develop the thought for a practical take away.

We all have princes in our lives. They’re the leaders or people we look up to. They’re the ones that inspire us to be greater and achieve more. While most of this portion may be about counting the children of Israel, the deeper messages are plentiful. Here is one of them. Enjoy!

What’s the significance of the Shmittah Year and Yovel Year today and how should we connect to them? Or rather, why should we connect to them? Rebbe Nachman offers a beautiful understanding of these biblical moments in time.
