Machshavot HaLev - Yeshivat Lev HaTorah

lasting connection with Hashem. In this parsha, with all the plagues, miracles,
and Bnei Yisrael receiving prophetic abilities, one wonders how they could go
back to a low level again. The answer is that when Hashem just brings us up to a
high level that we have not earned, we can easily fall. We need to build up towards
it so we have something to stand on. Bnei Yisrael’s challenge in the desert was to
struggle through a difficult 49 days and to earn the right to finally stand at Har
Sinai, experience prophecy, and receive the Torah.
Life is full of spurts of inspiration, but unfortunately the truth is, it doesn’t last.
It is only there to remind us of what could be if we work for it. The ultimate goal
is a long lasting connection that far surpasses the mere spark of inspiration. We
are working toward the goal of a deep connection to אוה ךורב שודקה that comes
through a connection to Torah and mitzvot.
My bracha for us all is to utilize the wonderful gift of inspiration, and achieve not
just a spark, but a connection with the everlasting light of Hashem.
