CLD #499


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
The entire world always tries to reach world peace (or at least the educated part of the world). If the entire country sees on TV a community working together to improve people’s lives, who will not be happy and thrilled to support them? Let’s take the famous TV show Extreme Makeover, where a team of 10 professionals and with the help of the community works together to build a poor family’s home from scratch in a matter of 7 days. Who does not have a smile on their face when they see such a beautiful show? Purely chessed.
Now imagine taking away all the money for building the house, ignoring the 1,000 person manpower, and especially forgetting about the time limit of 7 days. Imagine if we can build a spiritual home in a matter of 9 seconds. Imagine we can build a spiritual home for some poor family using spiritual hammers and nails right now! What do we need to do? Take a nice sugar-packed piece of Regulach (chocolate mezonot cookie) and just say a Beracha. What is a Beracha (a blessing on food)?
It is the link between us and Hashem to say THANK YOU Hashem for this piece of food.
Thank you Hashem for making nature work that this piece of food gives me more energy and more gas for life! What else is a Beracha? It is literally a sentence said in Hebrew with heavy heavy spiritual secrets behind it that says Hashem is the source of Praise in the world, He is my Master, He is the Number 1 Power and Creator of the world, and He is the supreme being who created what I am about to eat.
In a matter of 9 seconds when someone really learns even the simple meaning behind the words that make up a Beracha, they can reach high levels of connection and closeness with Hashem. This connection with Hashem brings down to the world the most extravagant and great amount of spiritual power! This is better than 500,000 people building homes with millions of nails and hammers. We unfortunately listen to the Yetzer Hara who tells us how unimportant and minuscule our spiritual power is.
B’H may we all work on ourselves to reach those levels of connection and happiness.
