Today's CLD is l'yilui nishmat the 59 year old woman who was murdered today in the terror attack in Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh and for the Refua Shlema of all the wounded.
You are what you eat.
You are what you eat.
As a child, how many times have you heard that? Probably hundreds.
Regarding Kashrut, which is seen in this week's Parasha, Parashat Shmini [ also my Bar Mitzvah parasha :D ], we see how detailed Hashem is when giving us the Torah HaKdosha.
In a previous CLD, we focused on the process of everything in our world trying to reach a higher point. From Domem > Tzomeach > Chai > Medaber. Rav Levy shlit'a added a 5th element. The level of the Yehudi! When we are children, regarding Halacha, a child can "basically" break Shabat because he does not have the mental capability to take in what he is doing and it does not impact in who he/she will become as a Neshama + Guf in the future. HOWEVER, it is not the same with Kashrut. Halacha explains that when a child is about to eat non-Kosher food, the parent needs to stop it no matter what, because the food becomes part of him.
B'H we need to start taking everything that is around us and everything we know and connect it to the source of all life, to Hashem, the Torah HaKdosha and Mitzvot altogether. b'H may we all have the zchut to open our eyes and our hearts, because in the end of the day G-d exists and there is nothing we can do about it.
A big concept that changed my life is the tiny bit of understanding I received in yeshiva when Rabbanim explained that when a Jew goes through Tefillah, Mitzvot, Limud Torah, etc. he/she is only doing a favor for themselves, Hashem can care less what we do. In the end of the day its all for our benefit. Hashem does not need our tefillot, He does not need our limud Torah, and does not need our money.
