Pleading


THE BIG IDEA

I like to call this week’s energy - the greatest hits of Torah. You’ve got a complete recap of the 10 commandments, the Shemah (the most powerful declaration of jewish faith), and my personal favorite and What I Live By - Ein Od Milvado (There Is No Other).

These pearls of consciousness come immediately after Moses’ pleading through prayer (to overturn the divine decree and enter the Holy Land) was denied – Tap into this overflowing expression of light. Truth chords from a man that knew how to reach the inner chambers of the divine, that was unable to change his own fate, and immediately pivoted and shared the essence of his wisdom completely free from resentment. 

This Friday night’s full moon is known as the full moon of love. In this month we move from the pain of ultimate loss (God’s Temple in Jerusalem) and into the love of ultimate rebuilding.  And while love is a force that transcends the romantic – this moon includes it too. The rebuilding happens inside life. Inside attraction to life. Inside the impulse to create life.

This moon holds the energy of repair for the entire jewish people - and this whole world — the energy of pure love.

So let’s all tap into the Moses vibe and leave our grudges and resentments behind. Let’s all see the Great LOVE that is available in Shabbat, on Shabbat, in this path, on our land, and in God’s ways of ultimate love.
