Live It And Believe

What is the secret of "feeling it"? How do we get close to Hashem even when we are not in the mood and are immersed in the 49 [million] levels of impurity that this world has to offer. The answer is in a pasuk in this weeks parsha - אשר יעשה אותם האדם וחי בהם, that a person DOES and lives by them. Do you want chiyus and vitality from the Torah - live it! Don't philosophize or analyze. Just DO IT! You want to be mekarev someone? Teach them the power of living the Torah lifestyle. Experience is the best proof there is of the potency and vibrancy of Torah.

Maybe that is the reason that we don't just TALK about Hashem's miracles but relive them. On Pesach we EAT the Maror and Matza. On Sukkos we SIT in the Sukka. On Chanuka we LIGHT the candles. [On Yom Ha-atzmaut we WAVE the flag.....:)] Etc. etc.

[See Sfas Emes אחרי מות  תרמ"ז]
