CLD #551


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Baruch Hashem, if one really sits down and looks into the essence of every action and/or event that occurs in his/her life can see Hashem sending us messages and links to help us go through life as well.
On the Subway we can all reach a level of such spirituality its actually insane. When one rides the subway, especially in New York later in the night, they can almost hear Hashem sending them a message about life and just to get back up from their low state of motivation.
What usually happens? Train delays, people pushing you by accident, trying to catch the train, people singing really bad songs no one would like to listen to at the moment, having a person sit next to you eating something really smelly, getting throw up on the bottom of your shoe and on and on. The Subway is one heck of a jungle.

But let’s get serious. What is Hashem trying to tell us?

We all know the train we hop on goes in a single direction: forward. We also know the train always has stations it must stop at and a final destination. So it is so simple to connect a subway ride to one’s life. Usually during rush hour the train must stop on the way to another station. The people on board become frustrated and you just want to get to where you are going. But wait. Why don’t we take this quick 30 second break and ponder about life? How?
 
Life is exactly like that. Sometimes we reach rock bottom, Be’ezrat Hashem not all the time, and we think we are only in reverse mode, doing less things to make Hashem happy with our service to Him and doing more things that if people will find out they might think I am crazy. At these moments what does the train do? Simply stop and just wait until it picks itself back up. The Jew living in such a society like ours is the same thing. We just need to rest, think where we are going and know that because of this backlash in my Mitzvot and life of Torah this is what will give me that extra boost to get back on track and continue forward.


After all, there is no such thing as going reverse.
So why ruin the future with the events of the past? You control your future.
Judaism=Think.

With that in mind, Pesach is in 10 days.
