The political/health/crisis around the world, the war between good and evil, who is fighting? Where does the real war take place? Who determines victory? Who rules the world? How to be successful in spite of all the obstacles people put on your way? What is the secret of true 'Free Will'? Corruption vs. Biblical Values, who's going to win the oldest game on earth? What is the secret of true victory?
The Parasha (Story) of VaYak'hel-Pekudei, after the Sin of The
Golden Calf, it is time to learn how to grow and build our lives in
spite of the imperfections around us.
This Shabbat is called Shabbat HaHodesh since it is the Shabbat
before the New Moon of Nisan (Aries). In addition to the Torah
Reading of VaYak'hel-Pekudei, there is a reading from Exodus 12
about the Passover, starting with the first blessing of the New
Moon of Aries, two weeks before the exodus.
Now! When the world is still in a dangerous place of uncertainty, it is time to reflect and look inside. This is the time to ask: Who is the person that I want to become and not: 'What are the things that I want to have? the places I want to travel, the deals I want to make'. This the time to stop our slavery to habits, belief systems and objects, the time to prepare ourselves to the freedom awaiting us in the 5780's.
