Portion of BeShalach - Keeping You Warm this Winter

Portion of BeShalach - Keeping You Warm this Winter

 
If snow is good for the Eskimos – why is everyone in North America feeling so cold?
Okay – it’s COLD –
But what ELSE makes you feel cold?
 
FEAR makes you cold.
So what makes you feel WARM?
LOVE makes you warm.
And what else?
 
The Israelites had the Egyptian army  at their back – and were facing the Red Sea.
FEAR of total destruction.
 
And then – the Sea Splits!
G-d really LOVES them! 
Doesn’t it make you feel warm when you see somebody loves you?
And what else?
Rabbi Carlebach always said – based on the Ishbitzer Rebbe -
 
If 2 people talk at one time – there’s no way to understand what they’re saying.
BUT
If 2 people SING at the same time – it’s HARMONY
Doesn’t THAT make you feel warm?
On the Insides of the insides?
 
And  A smile?  Doesn’t that make you feel warm?
And doing good for someone else?
SO
Call someone over 60 and find out if they’re keeping warm enough
And Sing this Shabbat
As the Israelites sang after crossing over the Red Sea
And KEEP WARM with Shabbat – a Gift from the Almighty!
 
Love and Shabbos from Israel
