For the Americans, today was “Love Day.” Valentines Day is
represented in America as a day to bond with the opposite sex. According to
Wikipedia Valentines Day is symbolic of a Christian pope who used to marry
soldiers during war. I don’t know what all the fuss is about but I bet the
economy is so supportive of Valentine’s Day because it increases sales and
profits throughout the western cultured cities across America.
Since some Jews haven’t really taken their time to think
about what love means and what it means to have a real soul mate, let’s dig
deeper in this subject. When a man loves a woman, he shows that love most
ideally through privacy, with respect and trust that there are both loyal to
each other.
Be honest with yourself, be honest with G-d and be honest
with your soul mate. When one enters the world of dating and getting married,
they are clearly willing to take up a nice chunk of their thinking power and
focus it on the woman. Due to the pressures of love and dating in society, we
can reach the conclusion that people are totally focused on sex all the time.
Therefore, the Torah tells us to dig deep into our hearts and minds and find
out who we are and how we can find someone to help us reach top level
spirituality and connect with Hashem. A man and woman together complete each
other.
Hashem created the world to be human, meaning we always need
some sort of company. For a man it’s a woman and for a woman a man. The world
reaches completion when man and woman become one and bring children into the
world. This can only be reached through a real process of finding a soul mate. This
means when both parties are completely pressure free and physical free, they
can use 100% of their thinking power to see and think if this person sitting in
front of me is really for me. I mean, I am planning BH to be with them forever.
Only when the physical is put aside one can really enjoy the
freedom of expressing themselves clearly and reaching their life goals.
Marriage is something different because then they are working together to bring
up children to serve Hashem and continue a world of Torah.
B’H we should all AT LEAST speak with our Rabbis to have a
clear mindset on what Jewish Love is and what it means to get married the
Jewish way, and not live our lvies by “going with the flow” and meeting my wife
at some bar (Hashem Yaazor).
Be real, be honest
with yourself, be Jewish.
