Vayakhel 5752 quotes

PURPOSE

Generally the purpose of life is as our sages teach – “The soul reason of my existence is to serve (the desire of God.”) And to cuase that all other existence should likewise.

WORLD-PEACE

By teaching everyone that their soul purpose is to serve (the wishes of God their Creator) we cuase world-Peace (as peace is the result of identifying, namely, when we realize that “the other is just like me” (hence this cuases us to extend our innate self-love to them – for example, this is why siblings realizing their blood connection, are more deeply attached than strangers.)

JEWISH UNITY

Certainly the Jewish people through the commandment to “Love your fellow as yourself” and the call for Jewish unity, must be unified.

JEWISH UNITY

When a Jew is standing but for himself, he is deficient – a Jew must be united with a fellow, to the extent of achieving unity with the entire Jewish people.

JEWISH LOVE

This is the meaning of “Love your fellow as yourself” – for it extends not only to a local Jew, but to even one living in the most distant location.

JEWISH UNITY

Now a mechanism to create such an emotion is by recognizing that every Jewish soul is one with God – and as all core realities “when you touch part, you touch it entirely”, and as there is but one God, hence in essence all Jews are truly but one (spirit, only manifesting in many bodies.)

EDUCATING (NEVER SHAMING)

Even if you might come across a Jew who needs to be educated, the only way to succeed, is in a peaceful, loving, caring, positive manner.

DIVINE UNITY

Now in order (or in preparation to) bring peace to the whole world and the Jewish people, one should start with realizing THEIR own unity with God. Every Jew is so boUnd to God that they are literally the same. As such, every Jew is like half and God is his other (so to say) half, and by bringing these two halves into a single whOLe, one achieves Divine unity.

DIVINE UNITY

The first thing a Jew does upon waking is say Modeh Ani, representing his UNITY with God, which supercedes the rest of the day (and it’s details.)

DIVINE UNITY

The fact that a Jew is one with God is simple and needs no proof.

WAKING UP

One of the most important things is to WAKE UP – as the Rambam says people are sleeping thier lives away (GOD-FORBID!)

STEP ONE – DIVINE UNITY

One must awaken from such a terrible slumber, and the first step is knowing that you and God are literally one, as your soul is.

MESSIANIC AGE

We are in the beginning of the Messianic age when we are witnessing the prophecy of the return of the exiles!

ADD IN CHARITY

The practical message: we must add in our charitable contributions.

CHARITY

There are of-course many levels in giving charity: ten percent, twenty, everything

CHARITY

We should decide immediately in what oUr increase will be.

HOW TO GIVE

Furthermore the way we give charity is not waiting for the poor to knock on our door, rather just as it is well know that to get closer to God one must dedicate themselves, simalerly, charity (one should be passionate about it to the extent that his mind is occupied, as well as HIS speech.)

CHARITY = MOSHIACH

Through this we cuase that Moshiach will immediately come.
