Ekev

THE BIG IDEA

In this week’s torah energy Moshe reminds us that the biggest challenges to walking in the way of Light (Torah) doesn’t happen in times of war or great stress – rather, it’s in attaining material success and comfort that we are most likely to exempt ourselves from the spiritual obligations that brought about our blessings in the first place. 

Take time this week to bring your awareness to both the blessings in your life, and the source of all blessings. This week’s energy is encouraging you to bring that awareness all the way down to your feet, into the smallest of spiritual obligations that you might see as outdated, or irrelevant to your life. Challenge yourself this Shabbat to bring your awareness of the divine into as many of your actions, and parts of your day/life as you can.
