CLD #873


Where is the motivation from Hashem to learn Torah, where is the motivation to continue living a life of Kedusha (purity) in such a difficult society like today where in the matter of minutes an individual can enter the depths of impurity and spiritual danger?! The answer is in the Section of Mishnayot we study on a deep level during this time of Sefirat Ha’Omer to turn us into more behaved and respectful individuals.

The Mishnah in Pirkei Avot (Chapter 4 2nd Mishnah) explains a famous phrase that we should all tell ourselves for motivation to find the spiritual light in the darkness of our generation! Mitzvah Gorreret Mitzvah Ve Avera Gorreret Avera. A Mitzvah generates another Mitzvah and an Avera (sin) generates more Averot (sins)! When an individual understands the deeper meaning behind these beautiful words he really can begin to excel in his excitement to want to do Mitzvot!

The Kehati commentary on Pirkei Avot explains that upon doing a single Mitzvah this will awaken the engine inside him to do another Mitzvah. This means that each individual has a factory of spirituality and inspiration in their system for their connection with G-d! On the other hand, the darker side, how does an individual end up falling spiritually? Avera Gorreret Avera. It is a snowball effect where the Yetzer Hara acts like a small child constantly poking one’s back and trying to get attention “Mister, Mister. I have a question!” Mister, Mister: can you help me with something?! It simply doesn’t end with the Yetzer Hara. He always wants us to fall spiritually and never attain a proper connection with Hashem.

G-d willing through this inspiration we will continue to exert effort to live a life that is spiritually active with G-d and running towards Mitzvot, G-d willing!

Judaism=Think.
