For the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara & Binyamin ben Blanka.
The mobile carrier providers probably have the
most annoying Customer Service Care Centers in the world! Let’s say you
suddenly have a surcharge on your monthly bill. $14.95 for some Jennifer Lopez
ringtone. Great!
You pick up your phone, dial and wait till the
automatic voice tells you: “Welcome to _____ Customer Service Line. We will be
happy to serve you today… We’re sorry but our customer service lines are all
busy. Please hold.” And then the worst Elevator Music EVER is put on. You just
press “speaker” on your iPhone and wait till someone answers.
Obviously with the worst Indian accent: “Hello
My name is Johnathan (he can barely pronounce it) My office ID # is 45J6RT7 and
I am here at your service. Can I have the last 4 digits of the account holder’s
Social Security Number…”
Ten minutes later (after being on hold for 3
or 4 times) you are speaking to the Supervisor of the Technological
Difficulties department in the Customer Service Business Account Holders
section of the company. After a ‘beautiful’ argument between the entire
entourage of supervisors and you, you get a nice credit on your account.
But then you see you’re late to your next
Chavruta/meeting/class/shiur by 10 minutes!
Was the call worth it? Only G-d knows.
Baruch Hashem theCLD is all about showing the Torah is all
RELEVANT! From the Korbanot (sacrifices) in the Beit HaMikdash to the Mitzvah Lo
Ta’aseh of Sha’atnez (prohibition of wearing linen with wool).
So what does this 1-800 Number have to do with anything whatsoever?
Aseret Yemei Tshuva is almost over. We are
given 10 days to do Tshuva (repent) and get closer with Hashem. Or just try to
START a connection with Hashem. It’s a time to improve (if you are at the 96th
level of Tshuva or 5 levels from even beginning Tshuva, doesn’t matter)! This
entire act of supervisors and being on hold and all that ‘lovely’ stuff is a
symbol of the entire year. We can do Tshuva throughout the entire year, but the
process is slowed down due to the spiritual level the world is held at.
However, during the past Chodesh (month) of
Elul up until Yom Kippur are days of ABSOLUTE RACHAMIM (mercy) from Shamayim!
Hashem is making so easy, as if He is the ‘supervisor’ who will call the client
for Customer Service. The Client just needs to show some effort that he/she is
part of the Mobile Carrier Company of Hashem.
We need to show signs that we are JEWISH. All
it takes is one single Beracha (blessing) or one Maaseh Tov (good deed) or even
one Tefillah to Hashem (prayer, can be on the subway or in bed before you
sleep) that tells Him: I want to do Tshuva!
We just need to want spirituality and Hashem
provides the spiritual help.
Yom
Kippur is in 3 days.
3
Nights of Selichot left, 3 Night of Mercy left.
Are
you going to take advantage of it?
