There Is Enough For Everybody:)

Today I saw a VORT!!

The pasuk say ואהבת לרעך כמוך אני השם - Love your neighbor as yourself, I am Hashem. The famous question is, what is the "I am Hashem" teaching us [we know that He is Hashem...]?

When my friend needs money from me, I don't want to give him because I am worried that I won't have enough for myself.

When my friend needs to borrow something, I don't want to give it to him because I am concerned that I will need it for myself.

The pasuk therefore says אני השם.  Don't worry about it! I am Hashem and have enough for EVERYBODY. If you give your friend, you will not lack.

ואהבת לרעך כמוך אני השם.
