(Bereishit 46:34) Rashi explains, "For every shepherd is an abomination to Egypt"—because the sheep were considered their deities. The Torah repeatedly emphasizes that our forefathers were shepherds. This point is stressed at length regarding Yaakov Avinu, and again when Yosef instructs his brothers what to say to Pharaoh so that he would not draw them into Egyptian society—that they are shepherds. What is so special about shepherding? Reb Noson, in Likutey Halachot (Hilchot Pikadon, halachah 4, based on Likutey Moharan Torah 1), explains at length that all spiritual damage ultimately comes from a disconnect between self-restraint in physical desires and Chochmah—the Torah wisdom that guides how a person should live. When a person is involved in physical life—such as tending sheep in earlier generations, or dealing with a car or other material concerns today—and does not see revealed Torah in those activities, nor recognize that a hidden Divine wisdom is present there, he may come to belittle the physical tools he uses. As a result, the Divine wisdom itself falls into improper places. But when a person deeply internalizes that every physical matter has a spiritual root, and before each action pauses even briefly to ask, "What Divine wisdom is hidden here?"—that is true wholeness. The bond between G-dliness within physical action and spiritual service through Torah and tefillah must be constant. This is why the Torah testifies about our forefathers that they were shepherds—not merely that they tended sheep, but that they continually perceived the inner spiritual meaning concealed within their daily actions. May we merit to always connect every deed and every step we take to true Divine wisdom, and thereby be worthy of all the blessings that Yaakov Avinu merited, in righteousness and truth. Amen.
