For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.

We say in Tefillat Amidah/Shmoneh Esreh: Baruch Ata Hashem Magen Avraham. Blessed are You Hashem, the one who protects/watches over Avraham.

We are entering Sefer Shemot, the book of Shemot and we just ended the Sefer of Bereshit. What is the main part of Bereshit? Its all about Avraham Avinu, Judaism really began from Avraham Avinu!

What is so special about Avraham Avinu z’l and what does Avraham have to do with these six weeks: Shovavim?

We know from the Leshem Yechud of Kriyat Shemah Al Ha’Mitah (the intro paragraph prayer before Reading Shemah before bed) that we have Rama”ch Evarim (248 organs) and Shasa”h Gidim (365 veins). Avraham had his name changed from Avram to Avraham, with the extra added Hei. Avram comes out in Gematriya to 243, Avraham is 248. This shows that when Hashem added the letter Hei to Avram, Hashem gave Avram the power to control the 5 famous organs every single male has a lack of control over. These 5 organs all have a great connection with the Kedusha of the body and the Nefesh (soul). These 5 organs include: one’s Brit Milah, both eyes and both ears.

These 5 organs are extremely important for every Jew to watch over Be’ezrat Hashem. These 5 organs are the pillars of Kedusha for the person’s life.

Shovavim is a time of Kedusha, purity, and a time of fixing what we have damaged spiritually by doing certain sins. This means we need to take these 6 weeks to push to guard the Kedusha of the Brit Milah, where the future of Am Yisrael literally comes from; the eyes, which can be used for the highest spiritual things such as looking at the letters of Gemara, the Torah, the moon during Birkat HaLevanah, the blood at a Brit Celebration, etc.; and the ears that can be used to listen to Shiruim, Limud Torah, Zmirot Shabbat or Zmirot at Smachot, etc. We need to understand that watching over these key parts of the body generate a huge spritual light of happiness!

B’H we should have the zchut to rise higher and higher in Kedusha and the see the truth of this world CLEARLY before our eyes.

Judaism=Think.

SHABBAT SHALOM!
