Another "Leichter" type of momment.

As I was cleaning for Pesach it occurred to me that two years ago I would have been porning instead of cleaning for Pesach.

Thank you Hashem for another clean day.

Love,

Eli

On Pesach Hashem took us out of the 49th level of impurity as an act of chessed.

That same light is there again now. All we need to do is follow the footsteps of our ancestors.

They went ahead and slaughtered their biggest impediment to connect with Hashem.

They denied the purported power of the idols.

They proclaimed that not everything that makes you feel good is good.

And did something about it. They didn't sit wallowing in pity and self deprication. They did something.

We all need to do something real because that will show Hashem that we are serious.

Did klal Yisroel instantly drop their feelings and desires for the idolatry? I'm guessing that you don't drop 210 years of assimilation that quickly. But they did SOMETHING.

That's why they were redeemed.

May we all merit to continue doing something.

Bad Choice

Yes it was a choice (I think)

Unfortunately it was a bad choice.

I think I can do better. Not because I am powerful, but because I am powerless and I know it. (Maybe I'm just saying it but it's better than not saying it)

There's this really awesome feeling of menuchas hanefesh when a trigger is walking don the steet and I avoid it.

Not like I feel awesome because I'm so strong but that Hashem is next to me holding my hand...

Thank you Tatty for clean day despite the stress
