Never ever give up says the Talmud. Even if a sharp sword is
at your neck, never give up. The prophet Isaiah came, in the name of G-d, to
King Hezekiah to tell him he would die, but Hezekiah understood the power of
prayer, and G-ds unlimited kindness. As a result, Hezekiah lived another 15
years.
Everyone said Prime Minister of Israel, Mr. Netanyahu is
finished. Netanyahu himself mentioned the hundreds of thousands of dollars
coming in from foreign countries to over throw him. The polls were against him.
It seemed he was doomed.
In the last few hours of the last chance, he woke up like a
lion, praying at the Western Wall, giving more interviews than ever, standing
strong and firm. To the surprise of the world, and perhaps even himself, he saw
a landslide victory and a smashing of his opponents. The first place Mr.
Netanyahu went to, was the Western Wall, the remnant of our Temple, G-ds
sanctuary, to pray and thank G-d.
As we approach the first of the twelve months on our Jewish
calendar, the month of miracles-Nissan in which the Jewish people were born at
the time of the Exodus, we must reflect on, who we are, and where we get our
secret of success.
The first commandment G-d gave the Jewish people after
establishing this month as the first in twelve, was that they must offer in
this first month the Pascal lamb as a sacrifice to the G-d of the Jewish
people. The Egyptians, amongst the hundreds of gods they revered, worshiped
primarily the lamb. What was the significance of worshiping our G-d through the
offering of a lamb, as a prerequisite to liberation? True these hosts weren’t
exactly very gracious, after all they drove the Israelites into cruel slavery.
Nevertheless, why aggravate the Egyptians, their hosts?
G-d commanded all this to take place in a month that was
super special to the Egyptians, since it was ruled and administered according
to the believers of the lamb, when the stars were lined up in the form of a
lamb, giving these worshipers, at least in their own minds, complete and
absolute supremacy.
But that was, and is, the message G-d wanted the Jewish
people to know. To survive as a G-dly people and a minority in this world, you
must slaughter the god of everyone around you, so there is no chance, anyone,
including yourselves, attribute ultimate success to anyone else.
G-d who created the heavens and the earth was telling the
Israelites. If you are to experience unbelievable super natural miracles, you
must show, total attachment only to one source - Hashem Echad – the One &
True G-d, and then you will see in return, total dedication from the
miraculous, infinite One.
In Hebrew the name of this month is Nissan which literally
means miracles. The birth and survival of the Jewish people comes from their
prayer, worship of G-d. “In Israel in order to be a realist, one must believe
in miracle”. David Ben Gurion
Our Sages say, things tend to repeat themselves, especially
when it’s most disposed to happen, as it did the first time. “In the month of
Nissan – (starting this Saturday, March 21, 2015), our forefathers were
redeemed from Egypt, and in this month, they will in the future be redeemed”,
with the coming of the Messiah. This coming month has freedom and liberation in
its energy, we must do our part and smash all the false gods around us.
There is (maybe not so) well known circulated story, from
Rabbi Shnuer Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812), one of the very few “new souls” in
this world. This Rabbi was a synagogue Torah cantor, and once while reading for
the congregation mentioned the year (5)775 (That’s this year) as the year the
Messiah comes.
Miracles are happening before our very own eyes. If there
has ever been a good time for good things to happen for the world, it’s now.
Get ready today, by doing another good deed, for the biggest of all miracles is
surely coming any day.
