Daily Thought: Help! I Need Somebody!

March 30, 2020

Good Morning Westwood Kehilla Family!

Let's go back to basics:

Deuteronomy [8:17-20] says it best:

הַמַּֽאֲכִ֨לְךָ֥ מָן֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־יָדְע֖וּן אֲבֹתֶ֑יךָ לְמַ֣עַן עַנֹּֽתְךָ֗ וּלְמַ֙עַן֙ נַסֹּתֶ֔ךָ לְהֵיטִֽבְךָ֖ בְּאַחֲרִיתֶֽךָ׃
who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers had never known, in order to test you by hardships only to benefit you in the end--

וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ בִּלְבָבֶ֑ךָ כֹּחִי֙ וְעֹ֣צֶם יָדִ֔י עָ֥שָׂה לִ֖י אֶת־הַחַ֥יִל הַזֶּֽה׃
and you say to yourselves, “My own power and the might of my own hand have won this wealth for me.”

וְזָֽכַרְתָּ֙ אֶת־ה׳ אֱלֹקיךָ כִּ֣י ה֗וּא הַנֹּתֵ֥ן לְךָ֛ כֹּ֖חַ לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת חָ֑יִל לְמַ֨עַן הָקִ֧ים אֶת־בְּרִית֛וֹ אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּ֥ע לַאֲבֹתֶ֖יךָ כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to get wealth, in fulfillment of the covenant that He made on oath with you

I share the video below because he does a great job telling it as it is.

May we merit sharing a korban Pesach this year!

Shavua Tov!
