BRI PARSHAH TIDBITS

"Then Moshe sang…"

"Even a simple maidservant at the Sea saw what Yechezkel ben Buzi the Kohen did not see."

There is no person who cannot testify about moments in life when they experienced true miracles—times when they clearly felt HaShem's closeness in a very real and tangible way.

And then comes the real test: the moment after that experience. Are we willing to recognize and internalize our true place—to understand that our very sense of distance from HaShem is itself the purpose and expression of closeness?

The heart of a Jew burns for HaShem. In the movement of his soul, he is ready to sacrifice and give up many of his own desires. But what happens when he feels that he has already risen to great spiritual heights? What then motivates him?

Is it a feeling of humility—that HaShem is so great and so exalted, and that every small movement made in His honor is the ultimate purpose?
Or is it, Heaven forbid, a feeling of achievement—of having already come so close that he begins to feel like HaShem's "deputy," as if he already knows exactly what HaShem wants from him?

Here lies the great and fundamental pitfall of our entire life journey, and of our faith in HaShem and in Moshe His servant. The tzaddik teaches us that every movement done for the sake of HaShem truly brings us closer to Him—while at the very same time revealing just how infinitely great and distant HaShem is, and how we must continue striving all our lives to draw nearer to Him, without falling, Heaven forbid, due to weakness or setbacks. When we live with this awareness, we are on the right path.

May HaShem grant us the merit to choose the correct direction—and to remain steadfast on it.

Shabbat Shalom.
