Weekly Parasha
Physicality and Spirituality: The Mission of the Soul
Parashat Tetzaveh/Zachor
We are always going to have the Amalek inside of us saying, You’re not accomplishing anything. See, you don’t feel it. This attitude has caused so many people to become weak in their avodat Hashem. The Jewish People didn’t feel the growth that they had a week before Matan Torah, but how great were they in actuality? The following week they received the ultimate level of prophecy, they reached the ultimate level a person could possibly be on, hearing the voice, kavayachol, of HaKadosh Baruch Hu. They had a misunderstanding, they really were on a high level, it’s just that Hashem didn’t allow them to feel that way, so He could balance their free will.
The same applies to us today. A person who is learning and growing might say to himself, I don’t feel any change. The Amalek inside of him is saying, you’re not growing, the Torah’s not affecting you. And because in reality the person doesn’t have the feeling he is looking for, he believes Amalek. We must strengthen ourselves and realize, every avodah we do is making us so great. We are rising higher and higher in anticipation of greeting the Mashiach. Specifically because we live in such a depraved world, it makes our avodah that much more valuable. If we stay the course, we will see how much of an effect Torah and mitzvot really is having on us. B’ezrat Hashem, we should merit that glorious day when the Mashiach will come and Hashem will rest His spirit upon us.
Shabbat Shalom!!!
