Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated L’iluy nishmat Rabbanit Rut bat Ahuva zt’l. Her endless dedication for the Jewish women and priceless words of wisdom will always be remembered. May her neshama bask in the Divine radiance together with all of the righteous who have departed from this world, Amen.
What a gift life is. We often forget. It takes immense creative imagination to remember that each day should be celebrated with its own distinctiveness as each day ushers in a whole new set of blessings. Each day deserves to be recognized with joy anew.
Purim is the Yom Tov that comes to reveal that which is always hidden to us. The good embedded in the bitter; the blessings in the hardships. It all boils down to perspective which must be directed towards eternity. When our vision is focused on the ‘bigger picture’ temporal disappointments pale in insignificance compared to the infinite picture.
Rav Hutner ztk’l taught that we do not recite Hallel on Purim since we are to find inner joy on Purim and praise Hashem’s name, each of us in our way. We are to find joy in all that we are and all that we do. We are to shower Hashem with words and acts of appreciation and celebrate the very road we travel; the road to redemption and the privilege of being part of this historical process.
Sheh lo Asani Goya, thank you Hashem that we are part of this incredible Jewish nation, an eternal nation that will live on forever in spite of what the media and evil want us to believe. Every day is a blessing in spite of the challenges as we are edging to the finish line of this world as we know it, B’H, b’Rachamim, b’Karov, Amen.
