Parashat Shemot

„The radiance of the light of God that fills all the worlds... it gives strength to souls, to angels, and to every creature, to feel the inner sensation of life.”From Orot HaKodesh II, 341

Within a world of falsehood, we are engaged in daily struggles that consume our lives. The true strength we can draw specifically from a high and spiritual world, from a world that does not live only the here and now but sees a supreme goal and strives toward it.

*

This Sabbath will mark 22 years since the murder of my friends in the terror attack in Otniel. Noam, Yehuda, Tzvika, and Gavriel, may God avenge their blood.
