The happiness of a real Jew is indescribable. Whether it’s the fact that he is secure because he opens his eyes and sees G-d is with him all the time or he understands the concept of “SheLo Asani Goi” or he sees that all the mitzvot are to his advantage, I am jealous. I had the zchut to be in the Rova HaYehudi for 3 and a half weeks and hopefully BH took advantage of every minute. I had the zchut to have my flight bumped and enjoyed an extra Shabat. And most importantly I had the zchut to get millions of tons of chizuk just by seeing what it means to be a Yehudi from the Yehudim of Yerushalayim. We pray every morning before we stand in front of Hashem in tefillah “Ashrei Ish SheYishma LeMitzvotecha Ve’Toratcha U’Dvarecha Yasim Al Libo.” Translation: Blessed is the Man who listens to all Your Mitzvot and Places Your Torah (Written) and Your words (Oral Torah) on top of his heart. This man is a man of Hashem, this man is the man of Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh.
B”H May we all have the ratzon to feel spiritually connected to Hashem at all times, because it is not a zchut, its just a little more effort.
The Jr. Rabbi of the Old City told me last night that a Chozer B’Tshuva (someone who decides to take the mitzvot upon him/herself) is at a higher level than the holy kids of the Old City who learn torah all day from the age of 5. Why? Because a Chozer B’Tshuva has real challenges to face because he/she have tasted the lust of sin.
SHAVUA TOV!
