For the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara
& Binyamin ben Blanka.
Thank G-d, us humans have been given a
beautiful present: a brain to think. theCLD has been working on seeing or
experiencing something and then being able to transfer that
experience /action /story /photograph into a piece of Torah to further inspire
others.
We had the zchut
to experience something recently that showed us that the Torah is EVERYWHERE and
we just need to open our eyes to look for it.
Unfortunately in New York, almost every Jewish
teenager knows what a Huka/Nargila/Shisha is. The pipe is used to smoke tabacco
(usually flavored) by placing a burning hot charcoal and having water on the bottom.
To get the charcoal hot, we obviously need to
light it on fire. Most of the charcoals that are used today ignite after a
while. It usually takes two or three matches/lighter switches to start up the
charcoal to light and only then one can begin smoking from the Huka (which is
really bad for you).
WHAT DOES THIS TEACH US? Every person in the
entire world went through a 9 month period where they were in their mother’s
wombs, look at Masechet Niddah (30b). This is our foundation for all of Torah,
our foundation for Emunah (faith) in
Hashem that is in our blood, and what makes us different from non-Jews. So one
is borught into this world, and then what? They go through spiritual ups and
downs and so many other things that just hurt one’s spiritual level.
BUT ONE SHOULD NOT WORRY! The way to get
closer to Hashem is simple: its all about Consistency. Where do we see this?
From the Huka Charcoal. Just like it takes two, three, or even four times to
light up the charcoal, so too with the Jew who is in a spiritual downfall. We
all need to put all our strength in getting closer to Hashem.
What does the matches/fire symbolize? The
Torah, the Esh Torah (the fire of Torah). With the constant implementation of
Torah we thrive to reach the highest levels of Ruchaniyut (Spirituality) and a
healthly connection with Hashem.
Therefore what can YOU do to be in a holier
environment? Push MULTIPLE times to get closer to Hashem & NEVER EVER EVER
give up (obviously by learning Torah & following the Mitzvot of Hashem's Torah).
B’H we should all WANT TO WANT to get closer
to Hashem and have the fact that “being close with Hashem=Happiness” STUCK IN
OUR HEADS & HEARTS really really well.
