CLD #414

For the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara & Binyamin ben Blanka.

Doing Averot (sins) is like being addicted to candy.

Everyone knows the best tasting foods are usually the worst for you in regards to health. The same goes for the Spiritual World. When one does an Avera, he/she first becomes attached to it in some way. The body begins to build a craving mechanism for it. The body begins to change to accept that it is a part of its normal intake.

After a while, even if it means to chase after it and ruin your entire day, the craving becomes so bad that it seems like the RIGHT THING to do.

When a Jew gets to this level, he/she gives themselves up to the Yetzer Hara, the Evil Inclination, and says “I Quit.” And the harder thing to do is to BELIEVE that there IS a Yeshu’ah, a redemption that is nearby.

What is the key to this Yeshu’ah? It is to pray to Hashem with all our hearts and yell to Him: “Aba, I believe in you, its just so hardddd, PLEASE HELP ME.”

As it says in Ashrei (Perek 146 in Tehillim): “Karov Hashem Lechol Korav Lechol Asher Yikre’u’hu Be’EMET.” Close is Hashem to all the ones who Call to Him in TRUTH. What does it mean “in Truth?” It means with all your heart, with all your emotion, with all your power, with all your strength, with all your feeling, and with all your mind.

We all know Hashem exists and wants to help us and tells us that the RIGHT PATH in life is the Torah. So why doesn’t Hashem just make it so much easier and have miracles happen in front of our eyes all day? First of all, there are miracles in front of our eyes all day (just the fact that our bodies work to go to the bathroom and we can intake food and water at the same time that our hearts work are 2 examples of huge miracles). Second, it is because Hashem wants us to work for it. We all know the biggest reward is after a lot of work.

 B’H we should realize that it takes a lot to get closer to Hashem, and it is NOT easy, but it is definitely worth it and it is the right path to ALL TYPES of Success.

Tonight in the non-Jewish calendar it is a non-Jewish holiday. Look at what the non-Jews do on their holiday: drink, smoke and follow in the path of sexual immorality in clubs and bars. What do we do on our holidays? Isn’t it awesome we are commanded to be moral and act HUMAN.

Judaism=Think. What is my purpose?

What path am I taking?
