How to win friends? ... and Influence the WORLD? (People? ) - Shminee
Sheminee - Moses - Moses talking:
The portion begins with
"THIS IS HOW G-D'S GLORY WILL APPEAR TO YOU..."
The Torah is for ALL GENERATIONS - not a dry history book -
so I always wondered about what that sentence MEANS!
What is G-d's Glory? and
Was it ONLY for Aron and only for THAT WEEK - or for US and for ALL TIME?
Rabbi SHLOMO CARLEBACH USED TO SAY
"YOU KNOW SOMETIMES YOU MEET SOMEONE-
and they just strike you as being a holy person"-
and you feel closer to G-d!
That is what G-d wants - for us to be that way-
so G-d's Glory will appear to all the world.
We're all like that - SOME of the time
but how can we be like that
as much of the time as we can?
So G-d's Glory will appear to us and to ALL?
So Rabbi Mordechai Sheinberger AMV"Sh writes on
Pirkei Avot Chap. 6 Mishna 10 says:
"5 things G-d OWNS in this world-
... and number 4 is ABRAHAM"
So Rav Scheinberger (of Jerusalem ) writes
(based on the Zohar-Kabala)
"Abraham took (Gdliness) in POTENTIAL
and made it ACTUALIZED in this world
by his LOVING KINDNESS
(Chesed)
May we all be students of Abtraham and Moses and ALL the Holy People
Shabbat Shalom
