Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated to the immediate refuah shleimah of Ahavah Emunah bat Chava Etta. May we all scream on high to invoke rachamei Shamayim for this special neshama, a mother of five young children, who is diagnosed with the machala, r’l. May Ahavah Emunah bat Chava Etta merit a complete healing among all of Ahm Yisrael who are sick and suffering, b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen.
If our eyes could only see the pain and suffering of the Shechinah we would not be able to stand it. All of creation bears witness to the heart wrenching cries of the Shechinah. Each rock and tree, river and mountain top, ocean and plant hear the daily wails of the Shechinah waiting to unite with Her children.
All that is in our hands to do, we must do. This is the time to cry a river of tears over the fate of the Shechinah and Klal Yisrael. If not now, then when? Let us picture hearing the voices of thousands upon thousands of holy camps of angels weeping over the sorrow of the Shechinah. Should this not stir our hearts to cry?
Mourning the Beit HaMikdash is meant to remind us all that is missing in our lives. It should cause us to realize that we are living life broken-hearted even if we don’t realize we are incomplete. Envision seeing your mother wrapped in sackcloth and covered in ashes crying over you; screeching and weeping (Yeshayahu 2:1), “Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for Hashem has spoken; Children I have raised and exalted, yet they have rebelled against Me.”
If we only knew how much Hashem loves us. He ‘wanders’ with us in our exile from place to place, never leaving our side.
