Areas when I think “Why is this happening to me?” “Why did I get myself into this mess?”

Lessons from Rashi & The Bigdei Kehuna

…Everything is there to teach you in avodas hashem, but in this case, Rashi got into a more messy situation! Rashi was in a situation that he wished hadn’t happened!

What do I do with something like this that I can still bring this into my Avodas Hashem?

It takes your heart. Your yechida rests in your heart. No experience in the world can blacken the yechida. Even those things that seem to be opposite of the Torah! To be able to take a negative experience and transform it - this power you get from your heart!

Only with your heart, your yechida, can you go through a situation where you see something or experience something that you really did not want to. And then you can find the powerful light within the darkness - here it gave Rashi understanding of the Kohen’s Clothing, the Eifod!

“Why do i have to have this shmutz in my life?!”

Everything is from Hashem

You have to be bothered by it, it’s healthy!

This experience will push you to a place that brings honor to Hashem!

A moment that feels painful - what’s the purpose of this mess? Everything is for a purpose! Listen to your yechida, and find a space that you can elevate & honor Hashem - and ultimately see the light that comes out from this golus, with Moshiach!

A relationship with Hashem so deeply loving where mistakes don’t matter.

This week's Sicha is sponsored by Shaina Zirkind in honor of her birthday.

"Thank you to Etty for arranging this learning weekly and to Mrs. Schapiro for teaching it!!"

This one really hits. That place going from one level to another can be confusing and totally untethered. The nasi asks on all of our behalf that even though right now we look like katonti, a place of confusion, we don't know where to stand on firm ground, Hashem's promise should be fulfilled "Haitiv Eitiv Imach! Hsahem is going to do amazing good things for us!
