Inspirational Thoughts on the Parsha

Being thankful: That is why Hashem commanded us to give the first of our produce as a gift to Him, to thank him for all the good. There are some opinions that say the obligation was as soon as they entered Erez Israel and some say after 14 years . Regardless, we could learn to be thankful both ways , the first way naturally ingrained right away as soon as you wake up in the morning we thank Hashem...

If we must pay a day worker before the sun goes down why doesn’t Hashem pay us a reward every day especially the Rabbis say the ultimate payment will be when Moshiach comes? The answer is we’re not just employees but partners with Hashem. In order to change the world and make it a better place which will be realized when Moshiach comes that will be Hashem’s profit, and our profit will be seeing ev...

When it comes to judging somebody else you have to really understand where they’re coming from and their struggles that is why a judge from Eretz Israel cannot judge a case outside of Eretz Israel because they don’t understand their struggles. However when comes to growing yourself,as important as it is to recognize the past, more important is to put yourself in a healthy mental space for the futu...

This Shabbos is Shabbos Tisha Bav Shabbos Chazon. The holy Bardichever says that Hashem shows us the third Bais Hamikdush on this Shabbos from afar. Usually we could see things that get us inspired but it’s limited based on our capacity and how we perceive things . Then we can be shown things from Hashem that will inspire us showing us things in a whole new dimension that will cause us to mend our...

The ultimate journey is when we feel like a stick dry and hard and disconnected from our source in a dark difficult place yet we stay strong and realize it’s all part of our journey towards Eretz Yisroel reaching higher and higher with every struggle and not only our nashama staying strong But actually affecting our bodies and animalistic soul and the world around us that doesn’t want holiness, sp...

There’s two ways how to get inspired. One from the outside although it might be very powerful full of light positivity and inspiration, It will make us do good things, However , the moment the inspiration is gone it’s basically over . That was Moshe Rabenu he gave us the Torah and yet a few days later we serve the Agel. The hero of our Parsha , Pinchas was able to inspire us from within to be bett...

The power of love is that much greater than the power of hate. Although Bilam tried to create hate between the Jewish people and Hashem by mentioning their sins In order that he can curse them , Hashem said that Avraham Avenu preempted you with love. That , he inherited to his kids and that is their true identity causing the cursing to turn into blessings. לקו״ש כח-א

A Nassi , Is a faithful shepherd which is even more than a regular tzadik because he makes sure that his flock has whatever it needs whether he’s around or not. Moshe was Nassi. Therefore he always made sure the Jews had whatever they need, and like it says in the Zohar there’s an extension of Moshe in every generation. לקו״ש יח-ג

True peace: It’s like the saying good boundaries make good neighbors, it’s only through respecting someone else’s space do you have true peace, and only then can you each contribute to each other where you ultimately realize you’re all part of one big picture completing each other, and that was Korach’s mistake when he wanted everybody to be equal. לקו״ש י״ח -ג

Going into Israel the Jews had a new task. A new way of life , to live a physical materialistic life but stay true to the spiritual life. Not only that but be able to uplift and find the positive in the materialism and utilize it for spirituality and for good. לקו״ש כח

What is true leadership? To inspire , uplift and guide, yes but much more. It’s to care so much for your people that you’re willing to give away something so important. The Jews only celebrated the Karbon Pesach once in the desert,Moshe didn’t request from Hashem to be able to celebrate it more just not to make the Jewish people look bad that they didn’t request it. לקו״ש כג-א

The Torah was given not to refine the soul but to refine the body. That is why we celebrate Shabbos and Yom Tov with eating and drinking so the physical body should celebrate Hashem. If you have pain from eating normally you’re allowed to fast, however not on Shavuot because then the essence of Hashem was expressed and revealed everywhere in the world and therefore there cannot be any area where w...

To really labor and toil in Torah Is a lot of hard work. It’s like engraving your thoughts down which is more labor intense than just writing it down. It is similar to Mitzvahs that are beyond logic that are called Chukah which means engraving Because they’re so much harder to do and that will cause the Torah to be ingrained in your heart. לקו״ש יז-ג

Although you might see someone doing something bad judge them in a positive light. By talking about someone’s positive qualities you will help them develop it and that will overwhelm the negativity. In truth you really can’t judge someone else until you’re in his place and the fact that he’s in that position shows that he has tremendous powers to overcome it. לקו״ש כז-א

Hashem wants us to make Him present and relevant in every part of our lives. That is why the Bal Shem Tov would ask people how they are doing to hear them praise Hashem. That is also why by the fruit tree the fifth year Hashem gives such big blessings being that we’re not allowed to eat it the previous years. The purpose is we should recognize that it’s not that we were so successful on our own it...

After Aron‘s children passed away in total spiritual ecstasy the Torah gives us two warnings representing two types of Jews. One, don’t go intoxicated into the bais hamikdosh – representing a Jew that learns Torah not to get drunk and expire in holiness. The second warning is not to go into the holy of holys only on Yom Kippur representing a Jew that wants to disconnect from this world because of...

Concluding means coming to an end where everything materializes in it’s ultimate fashion so Acheron Shel Pesach concluding the Pesach which represents the Geulas Mitzraim the first redemption with Moshe rabenu will conclude with the ultimate redemption with Moshiach . That is why the Haftorah is all about Moshiach and also the Bal Shem Tov established to make a third meal at the end of Pesach and...

True freedom! There’s an expression everything is in the mind. Sometimes with the lack of knowledge we feel stuck and in prison just like in the Neshama within us that’s full of life and energy. Sometimes you’re not even aware of it and Hashem says all I need is for you to be aware of your lack of knowledge to be hungry for a relationship with me and I will feed you with a mental strength and heal...

The unity of the Jewish people is very powerful where one can bring the Karbun for another Jew and cause his atonement even if your poor and that person is wealthy. It is because we are like one body. Even deeper when you take upon yourself the Karbun of a wealthy man even if you’re poor we consider as if you’re wealthy and we give you the power to fulfill your obligation. לקו״ש כז-א

Humans have two qualities. One that is given to them from God , born talented smart and good. One that is self achieved when you work on yourself to be better. We are created with both of these qualities. The Neshama , a gift from God and a coarse body, an animalistic soul capable of going against Hashem. Capable of being lower than an animal, however we have the capability of taking this vulnerab...

We are required to do two opposites, to be fully engaged present with our full self, when it comes to learning Torah, however at certain times we have to have the ultimate humility, for example when it comes to davening, asking a Halacha or a way of serving Hashem regardless how great you are, that was the error of Nadav and Avihu they were on such a high level and yet did an unauthorized service...

The Reaffirming on Purim of our connection to Hashem from Matan Torah, where we connected to something much greater than The Reaffirming on Purim of our connection to Hashem from Matan Torah, where we connected to something much greater then our self’s, The Reaffirming on Purim of our connection to Hashem from Matan Torah, where we connected to something much greater then ourselves is expressed on...

Being generous is part of our DNA, it is who we are. It comes from the tremendous love Hashem has for us, it’s the purpose and intention behind all the Karbanos to donate and become close to Hashem. The reason the Torah doesn't even have to mention it, being that it is so part of who we are, and we just reveal it through bringing a Karbon. לקו״ש יז

Why does the Torah finish off the Parsha about the cloud ( Schinah ) leaving the Mishkan every time they traveled ? It seems to be the opposite of the whole Parsha, which discusses the building the Mishkan, so that the Schinah can rest amongst the Jews. The answer is it is specifically when you don’t see the cloud resting amongst you, and yet you still know Hashem is there that is the ultimate con...

Although the Jews were commanded just to make the tapestries from goats wool, some women that were talented to spin the wool while still on the goats back did so, because it produced a better tapestry, understanding that that’s the reason Hashem blessed them with that talent. In addition they cut off the wool and made the tapestry as a cover before building the walls, so not to cause discomfort ev...
