Chukat - the great Mysteries of the World are never unlocked

Chukat - the great Mysteries of the World are never unlocked

That's part of what life is about
We know we're born, we can love, we can share, we can do things we never imagined we could accomplish - 
and all these are a Gift from the Almighty

We can never KNOW WHY -
and Rebbe Nachman says - THERE'S NO POINT IN GUESSING - IT WASTES OUR ENERGY

But if we BELIEVE in the Almighty's GIFTS to us -
it becomes a starting point to life life on a more expansive level -
than to just be doubting everything.

In the portion of Chukat:
tHE WELL STOPS RUNNING;
the well stops running
Moses hits the rock instead of talking to it
and Israel is attacked for asking to be able to travel in peace ...

sounds familiar? the past is repeated and

Water in the desert - ISRAEL has created a modern miracle
Moses at age 120 got a little hot under the collar - 
and (Based on Rabbi Moshe Neria) - is told he will some day bring all the souls of those who passed away in the desert into Israel- and look - NOW there are 6 million Jews is Israel

And if we believe the Messiah will come to fix and redeem the world-
it gives us more power to aim our efforts
first by following the laws and the mysteries of the Torah,
and then our every day lives.

Shabbat Shalom
Happy New Month of Tamiz
