CTN TORAH MINUTE


Posted by rabbi.deutsch on 24 Sep 2012 / 0 Comment



Hi,

Hope you’re having a great day.

The holiday of Purim is behind us.

And as important as the celebration of a Jewish holiday is?

It’s also important that we take something with us.

That are lives are somehow different.

Here’s something I was thinking about on Purim.

And something I hope to think about every day as well.

… I mentioned in my last Torah Minute that G-d’s name is not in the Megillah.

Because G-d was there, but He was hidden.

There was no “splitting of the sea” like on Passover.

Purim is a day that we need to look deeper to see G-d.

To see that He was there pulling the strings.

… It’s one of the most fundamental Jewish teachings.

Every human being is created in the Image of G-d.

There is something G-dly in every person.

And with some people?

G-d’s presence is like the splitting of the sea! 

You can’t miss it.

With others?

You need to look a bit closer to see it.

And sometimes we meet someone and…

“It just isn’t there.”

The holiday of Purim should remind us that the problem is with us.

That we need to look deeper.  And deeper. To see beyond the external.

And if we do that with every person we meet?

We will find the Image of G-d!

All the best,
