Parshat Chukat...what comes to mind? PARAH ADUMAH!!!
So, there were less than 10 red heifers (heifer? who came up with that word?) in the history of the world. Sounds rare, right?
Well, guess what? There's something holy that's even MORE rare -- in fact, there was only ONE of these in history...know what it is?
YOU! Yes, you. The person reading this blog entry right now.
Chazal teach us that there are no two that are exactly alike.
There was never anybody like you in the unverise, and there will be anybody exactly like you. HaShem gave you an individual neshama with different strengths, weaknesses, talents, and powers. HaShem wants us all to use our power and talents to contribute and give to Klal Yisrael and to fully live up to our unique potential!
How can we be sure to live it up? Pray to HaShem for clarity and strength to fully fulfill and maximize your potential and mission in this world.
Shabbat Shalom u'Mevurach!

@SG- I can't say for sure but I would assume it involves a giant fireball of doom.
ReplyDeleteAzriel Tzvi - Giant fireball of doom...that's it?!
ReplyDeleteIsn't there one of those in the sky every day :P
There is indeed a giant fireball in the sky everyday but that one is not a giant fireball of doom, thats completely different. Also, that is bad enough, trust me.
