CLD #436


For the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara & Binyamin ben Blanka.
The Navi has endless Chizuk. Let’s share it with you!
Shoftim Perek Vav Pasuk Bet (Judges 6:2) says that Am Yisrael were the foundation builders of the outline of their time. Meaning Am Yisrael created the dens and strongholds of the cities and villages they were living in during the time of Midyan’s rule over them. Even though Am Yisrael were bowing down to Idols and straying away from Hashem (they did this because they had the huge urge, just like we have today for sexual immorality), they still have the intellectual power to rule over the land and help advance the technologies and community systems throughout their time.
This is not only true in the time of the Shoftim, which was roughly 3000 years ago. It is also true today. Being only 0.02% of the world’s population, the Jewish nation conquers almost 20% of all Nobel Peace Prizes. This is a staggering percentage that shows our genes are not something that is like everybody else. Rather, we are on a more elevated stature in spirituality, which affects our intellectual state in the world.
We have the turbo boost because of our privilege to be part of Hashem’s nation.

We do not appreciate what it means to have a Neshama. We all think we need to chill and just live life without pushing ourselves too much and quiet down in regards to pushing other people to reach their potentials. But this is WRONG. We all need to help eachother out to succeed, and not only in the financial realm but most importantly in the spiritual realm and complete our life they way it should be completed: through religious accomplishment and overall spiritual satisfaction.

Where does happiness stem from? From the ability to make our Neshama, our soul, happy, by feeding it Torah and Ma’asim Tovim (good deeds such as Chessed and Tzedaka), which then transforms into an innate happiness to light up from within.

B’H we should realize that ‘thanksgiving’ is not a one-day thing like for the Goyim, rather its something we need to practice constantly. Thanking Hashem for everything we have is a foundation of the belief system that is in our blood.

Thank you Hashem for showing us the Goyim’s thanksgiving to help push us thank you for the constant protection you have for us!
