WELCOMING SHABBAT
Shabbat is more than a day of refraining from worldly activity.
When experienced to its spiritual fullest, its holiness enlightens all other days of the week.
We invite you to enhance your Shabbat with these words of Torah.
Parashat Shelach: Human Effort vs. Faith
- God created the world requiring our efforts, challenging us to either recognize His role or attribute success to ourselves. The key is acknowledging His wisdom behind everything.
Parashat Shelach: Human Effort vs. Faith
G-d created the world in a way that we have to make efforts to get what we need. Why?…
[Because this presents us with a significant challenge and opportunity. We must choose if we will trace] things to their original cause [God] and develop a relationship with [Him], or will we irrationally attribute everything to ourselves, thinking that all the achievements in this world are uniquely the result of [our efforts].
[Will we have the humility to recognize that behind everything, there is the Master of the Universe who manages things with His infinite wisdom]?
