Machshava:

Chassidut 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Reclaiming Joy

Description

Based on the sefer Pirkei Machshavah - Nisyonos Acharis Hayamim (the tests of our generation) by Rav Ezriel Tauber. P95. Through the thorns of life come the crowns of Torah and Yiddishkeit. When do the crowns on the Torah's letters shine? Easy access to bring inappropriate content into our immediate vicinity. We no longer have to seek the "tachtonim" (lowest parts of creation) - they come to us. Having self-control. The change from allowing Jews to live among the nations to killing them (Holocaust) has removed the nation's ability to subjugate the Jewish nation. Exposed to everything previously unavailable because the nations kept us separate. Our parents' confidence in themselves and their children. When we hear a story, what does it mean and what do we learn from it? Even though we often damage our relationship with Hashem, every single movement with which we try to disengage from doing the wrong things [nachalas goyim] and turn to Hashem is great and precious in Hashem's eyes.
