Description
Based on the sefer Pirkei Machshavah - Nisyonos Acharis Hayamim (the tests of our generation) by Rav Ezriel Tauber. P90. "Same'ach be'chelko" (happy with what you have) - the feeling of wealth applies to spiritual matters too. Different generations have different nisyonos (tests). Institutionally we are better off than ever before, but on an individual level, the loneliness and lack of joy is greater than ever; and that is our challenge. If our Yiddishkeit is not fulfilling, how will it protect us from the outside world? The problem does not lie mainly with the outside world, but within ourselves. How the yetzer harah (evil inclination) attacks us - he let's us be as frum as we want to be, as long as we are not happy. The place where G-d wants to "live." When the nations of the world rejected the Torah, what did we actually receive, and what were the angels jealous of? What was Moshe Rabbeinu's response? The essence of a Jew, Torah, of Eretz Yisrael.
