There are four important factors that stand at the core of healthy human development. We will name two today and the last two in the coming days.

•             A desire to feel valued and that our existence is significant and important

•             A need to feel purpose and that our life is full of rich meaning

With emuna we understand that life is a matrix; we are all connected and each of us holds a vital piece of the puzzle of life that remains empty if not properly set in place. Living a life of Torah and emuna promotes a life of loyalty (emuna = ne’emanut); each of us is dedicated to our collective mission in life and understands that each of us is dependent on the other on our journey to redemption. Each of us is irreplaceable in the scheme of Tikkun Olam. What one can do, none other can replace.

Feel & Heal exercise:

Gently close your eyes, take a few deep cleansing breaths and ask yourself “Which place in my body holds my indispensable task in this world?”  The first place that draws your attention to it is the answer. Now ask, “What is it?” The first answer that arises should clarify to you what it feels like to be connected to your purpose.

Every Jew can feel G-d’s presence on Seder night and experience Heavenly delight.  What sweetness! G-d saved each of us personally from the plagues.  A special relationship began to develop since then; a unique feature of this bond remains alive in Yisrael until today.  We are a nation apart, divinely protected, distinct from the rest of the world.

Therefore the main aspect of preparing for the holiday of Pesach is to be b’Simcha; to praise G-d for all the hidden and revealed goodness and miracles in our lives. We glorify our Creator and express our profound appreciation for this once-a-year-mitzvah in which we work to remove falsehood on the inside through cleaning actions we perform on the outside. The truth be revealed – G-d wants us to clean, organize and reveal all the amazing things that have always been there -> His awesome presence!

From within the bubbles and clorox spray find a moment to scrub down the real reason for the cleaning. We are working to clear away the ‘guck’ that hides the beauty beneath.

THE DAILY DOSE OF EMUNA WILL BE TAKING A BREAK FROM DAILY POSTS UNTIL MAY 6TH – THE BEGINNING OF CHODESH IYAR.

Wishing everyone a Kosher Passover filled with a taste of true freedom, joy and emuna!

Our reality is constantly changing and helping us to move forward. When you move house, your current home appears on the surface to be in utter chaos, confused and disorganized. However, we can view change as stressful, or we can view it as an exciting opportunity. We shouldn’t fall apart because of this move. Don’t worry about putting things in order or making sense out of the mess.

The apparent chaos we may find ourselves in signifies that G-d is changing the world for the better. We can view the change as positive, exciting and adventurous. We are not stagnating but growing. Essentially we collect our packed belongings (mitzvot) in this world and deposit it in the next – boxing, moving and replenishing.

Remember: often before building something new the old must be removed. When looking at our life maybe you are just in the middle of construction.
