Good Morning 💗
Whatever day it is you are right now as you are reading this, the kindness of Hashem has been there for you from the beginning of the day until this moment, and the kindness of Hashem will be with you for the rest of your day until the new day starts.
Imagine how you will feel when you experience an entire day with this consciousness. From the moment you open your eyes in the morning until you go to sleep at night, every moment will have awareness of Hashem kindness. Allow yourself to be aware of being the recipient of constant kindness for an entire day.
Every movement you make, everything you owe, every interaction with other people are all kindness of Hashem.
And what about the things that you usually over look? On the day you decide to become more aware of the kindness you experience, you will notice more and more things. You will see what you might not have seen before, you will hear what you might not have heard before. You will find yourself being more aware of Hashem.
Today is the first day of Hanukkah, the first day of the miracle. As we recall the miraculous events of Hanukkah's week, let's each seek to ignite the heavens with our fervent prayers, yearning for a unique miracle that will etch its profound significance and will resonate into our own history.
Yesterday, I was in a transformative class led by a remarkable individual, thought not by a Rabbanit but possessing the strength of a thousand women, I learned about the paramount significance of Hashem in our lives. The essence of the lesson emphasized that without Him, our efforts are futile. It underscored the importance of praying earnestly, pouring our hearts out to Hashem while engaging in every Mitzvah.
During the lighting of the Hanukkah candles, you are strongly encouraged to fervently implore Hashem with all your heart, to cry out loud, plead, and reach deep within ourselves, imploring for miracles.
Prayers for our soldiers, the release of hostages, an end to antisemitism, and peace in times of war. It's an opportunity to express our innermost desires to Hashem.
May the illumination of the lights last not only the traditional eight days but extend its brilliance throughout the entire year.
Imagining ourselves in the profound moment of Yom Kippur during Nehila, when the Ark is open and our destinies hang in the balance, urged to cry out, beseech, and plead with Hashem for profound miracles, pouring forth our deepest emotions with utmost sincerity and passion.
May the light last until next Hanukkah may all our prayers be heard amen 🙏
Wish you a Hanukkah filled with light and Hashem kindness amen 🙏
