CLD #830


We are all looking for the direct blessing for our spirituality, for our connection with Hashem, for our success in learning Torah and for our financial success in general. Rav Shimshon Pinkus shlit’a in his Sichot (discussions) on Pesah explains that the Shabbat before us, Shabbat Parah, is actually the preparation for the preparation for Pesakh (in less than a month).

Rav Pinkus explains on the first page of his volume on Pesakh that Parashat Parah is the cleaning and filtering the bad for the foundation of a building. For example, if you bought a plot of land, in order to begin building your dream home you must clear out the land; there’s no such thing of building straight on top of a structure that was already there! Everything must be worked out with experts.

Parashat Parah has the foundation of purity, of the kedusha that a person holds. Each Jew is a vessel for Hashem’s Divine Presence to rest in. When is the core and essence of the settling of The Divine Presence in the year? Its during the holiday of Pesakh. This holiday is a few weeks away and I am sure we are all not ready for the wave of holiness that is going to hit the world. Therefore, Hashem does Hessed (kindness) with us by giving us a special Shabbat that includes the cleansing process of all tumah (impurity): this is this week’s Shabbat: Shabat Parah!

Be’ezrat Hashem may we have a Shabbat filled with kedusha (holiness)!
