Hey Kids

This week we have an amazing Parshah – we read of a very strange story – You see Moshe had a cousin by the name Korach – Now Korach was not only very smart, he was very rich – Whenever Hashem gives us anything – be it a good head or lots of money, there are two things that can happen – We can either realize because we are no better than anyone so it must mean we got really lucky – This Makes US So Happy!

But another thing can happen, it may wake up our dragon.

Do you know that in you (and everyone) there is an evil dragon?

Yes, you see, in our basement lives a great ferocious evil called the ego.

Instead of feeling happier from anything and everything we get – the dragon that also knows we got something tells us a great lie.

His lies is that “Look How Great You Are!”

Now if we believe this lying dragon then you know what happens, instead of feeling  grateful for our tremendously good luck, we begin to get angry.

Are you kidding me?? – how could I get angry from getting?!

You see, if I give you one dollar you would be happy, but what if I promised to give you two, and I only gave you one?

That’s why whenever anything good happens to you, right away, before the dragon breathes his evil lie, say to Hashem (and the person who gave it to you – even (or especially) your parents) THANKS!!!!!
