Parshas Ki Seesa (5765)

The positive side of the ‘chet haegel” in our parsha was the clarity that Clal Yisroel possessed in the absolute necessity of not going for a moment without a leader that was definitely “connected Above”.

The question is how we relate to this issue.  Do we feel terribly distressed at not having the accessibility to true guidance?  Perhaps we have become callous to the issues and areas that require “daas Torah”.  What country to settle in…. When to leave Kollel…. What cheder should our children attend…At what age should our daughters start on the road to finding a marriage partner…

Do we have too much peace of mind?  Perhaps the proper mindset would be standing on a skyscraper missing the floor under our feet and hysterically stressed at the prospect of missing the guidance of a leader that we have the absolute confidence in that he is connected Above.

Forgive me for disturbing your peace but perhaps this will bring Mashiach.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

In our parsha we have the Shira.  From the simple fact that it was recited as a reaction to the greatest miracle, plus the input of the Chazal as to its being very special,the ShiraHown reading through its simple text one fails to comprehend its greatness.  We should all be worthy to understand its true depth.

At least as we stand daily and recite these meaningful words we should attempt to capture the scene of Hashem’s salvation.  Standing at the edge of the sea and seeing Hashem’s destruction of our oppressor and the happiness, gratefulness and insightful recognition of the glory of our Creator.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

The “bigdei kehuna” contains a blaring lesson that clothing, our wardrobe is an area of serving Hashem. Many consider wardrobe a very personal issue and find any interference annoying. Indeed, our appearance is a definite form of serving Hashem.

The selection of our clothing is also a statement of commitment to a group or an ideal. It is also a tool to program our inner emotions and mentality. Our selection of clothing is likewise a barometer; a sort of acid test of where we are at.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
