Parsha:

Yitro 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Bilvavi IV

Description

Each Jew is obligated to have sheifus (aspirations) for greatness regardless of background or abilities. When we exert ourselves to our full capacity Hashem fills us up more. House filled with children, toys and a mess is a home fitting for Hashem's bracha. Grandson of Baba Sali recently fasted from Motzoei Shabbos to the next Friday night. Kavod (honor) is a big thing with men but not so much for women. We can have great sheifas because Hashem is very great. Greatness of a Jew is because of the "Hashem" within us. Yisro was not interested in kavod. Yisro in hebrew means "more."
