CLD #465

For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester & the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara.

We are officially more than halfway through Chanukah. We have lit the Menorah FIVE TIMES! Have we taken anything from Chanukah yet to really make our lives better than a week ago? The difference between the Greeks and the Jews was TRUTH.

A Jew goes in the way of Yaakov Avinu, he/she lives life by following the Truth. This means to go against the emotions and feelings and do what is according to the Torah, according to the Truth and not what our heart tells us. 

We say “Lo Taturu Acharei Levavchem Ve’Acharei Enechem” Do not stray after your hearts and after your eyes. Our hearts tell us “It’s okay to kiss my aunt and cousin because I knew them forever. What’s the problem?! It’s only a kiss.” But the Torah says otherwise. It does hurt once or maybe twice, but in the end your family will understand. Kedusha of Am Yisrael is the NUMBER ONE priority for us to continue being strong and united.

Another example is how women dress. The Greeks thought that a woman’s respect is to show her skin and publicly run around and act like animals. However, we need to understand that a woman’s respect is the modesty, is the Kedusha that she holds when she does NOT reveal herself. It is also naturally more attractive to have a woman who is more modest because then she is cleaner of sin and dramatic situations.

A woman is not a toy or an object to use to fill up man’s desire. She is the reason of the Spiritual and literal freedom out of Mitzrayim’s Tumah (Egypt’s impurity) 3,300 years ago and the Holy Women in our generation is the reason for the MASHIACH BB’A! The Greeks and the Jews have a tiny difference: the Greek would rant and rave about what he/she is doing is 100% correct and true even according to the Torah! However, when looking deeply, we can find the falsity behind the Greek’s actions, because in the end it is filled with Tumah.

Just like having a Menorah and a tree next to one another. We do not mix with the non-Jews. We are here to be examples of purity and true happiness in the world. This means to be higher in spirituality by doing what Hashem tells us, and not what our brains and hearts tell us.

B’H we should PUT EFFORT in doing the Torah and rely on Hashem’s help to succeed in everything we do.

Judaism=Think.

SHAVUA TOV!
