Parshas Acharei-Kedoshim 5778
by Mordechai Dolinsky
19:4 Rashi. The Chumash criticizes and speaks down of one that is trying to rely on some object for some assistance; hoping it will assist him in some way and obviously excluding the Yad Hashem. HIs mind will be perverted and it will turn into a real avoda zara. How much we must always focus to make sure that Hashem is in the center of the picture.
Even verbal curse directed to parents is punishable with capital punishment. How vital and critical is gratitude.
Have a wonderful and meaningful Shabbos.
