CLD #514


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Baruch Hashem we can use everything we do and everyone we interact with to help our connection with Hashem. In Intro to Psychology at Baruch College we looked into the chapter on the study of behavior. This chapter included the framework behind the brain and the human nervous system.
As common knowledge explains, our bodies have been created Hashem through an extraordinary amount of chochma and the highest upon highest forms of wisdom. We can simply see this through the entowrk of neurons and nerves throughout the human body. Forget mastering the are of the human brain, that alone already puts our minds at work that is too much to handle.
So how do nerves/neurons work? Basically there is an electric current that runs through our body along connecting neurons from a certain point all the way up to the brain and back down. For example, typing on the keys on my keyboard right now creates an endless amount of electricity to flow throughout the millions of neurons in my fingers all the way to my brain and back all in ultra quick speed so the body can function with the Help of Hashem properly.
What does this have to do with the Torah, with Judaism and with our daily lives? In order for something to function properly, and in our example it is the human body with the appropriate neurons and electric current; we must have action potentials (which is what the active electric current is called) in order to begin the flow of electricity to ignite these neurons to send throughout the body information to the brain. In our lives what makes us live, and most importantly who helps us live properly? Besides for Hashem (obviously) who gives us life and practically everything we own, we have our Rabbis to direct us to the proper life of connecting with Hashem on an appropriate spiritual level at different times.
The action potential to ignite these communications and relationships is the Holy Torah that in the learning of Torah we bring down to the world more Shefa or spiritual energy to positively influence the entire world to run on a more healthy and spiritual platform of energy. The actual electricity that flows from neuron to neuron is the Rabbis throughout history. Many people always complain how it is not ideal for people to go learn Torah all day. But let’s ask a logical question: If we didn’t have these people literally giving up their lives to learn Torah, then who will do it? Will we have (with all respect) Christopher from our Science class at College learning Torah to continue its foundation and roots in our everyday lives to pass it on to the next generation? I don’t think so. The realy learning and real Torah values and principles are founded in the Batei Midrash (Torah Learning Centers) throughout the world. Without a lifetime’s effort of engagement in the Torah we really can’t reach the Torah’s roots and true meaning.
Therefore we must appreciate appreciate appreciate that we have spiritually enormous Rabbanim to direct us to a life of happiness with a true connection to G-d.

Baruch Hashem that He always sees the good in us and wants us to move forward in our connection with Him, so He sends us Rabbis to direct us to our spiritual goals and reach our true potentials and meaning in life. This is all running under huge amounts of Rachamim from Hashem. Can I really say I deserve all this spiritual information and a spiritual lifestyle? Obviosuly Not! It’s a privilege to be Jewish and we don’t even appreciate it. But B’H He will open our hearts to understand that its truthfully such a big gift to be born Jewish and live according to the Torah HaKdosha!

Shabbat Shalom!
B’H Much Simcha (happiness).
