BRI TORAH TIDBITS

“Man natzach? Man d’achid ma’nei kravah b’yadohi” - “Who is victorious? The one who holds the weapons of battle in his hand.” (The holy Zohar)

Who wins the battle? The one who holds the weapons of war in his hands.

This alludes to the Arba Minim, the Four Species that we hold in our hands on Sukkos. Through them, we are empowered to overcome the forces of evil in the world.

The word nitzachon, victory, has two meanings: eternity and overcoming something else.

At first glance, if overcoming another is a form of force or domination, why is it considered a good thing when we overcome the yetzer hara? How is this different from the forces of evil overcoming the forces of good, chas v’chalilah?

Reb Noson teaches a profound yesod, based on Likutey Moharan, Torah 54: A person is always engaged in a battle in which he must overcome himself.

If, chas v’chalilah, a person allows evil to prevail—if he becomes enslaved to his desires and simply does whatever he feels like doing—this may appear to be a victory. But in truth, it is a victory that ultimately brings him to destruction and completely destroys his future in the World to Come. Surely, such a thing cannot truly be called victory.

On the other hand, when a person overcomes his desires—when he restrains his will and chooses what is right for the sake of his Olam HaBa—this is a true victory. He has conquered himself. And this victory remains with him forever and ever. It becomes his true eternal world, and it is what ultimately makes him a true menatze’ach, a victor.

This is what the Zohar reveals to us about Sukkos: We are given the wondrous awareness of who truly wins.

The one who is willing to fight for his eternity.

Even when a person falls into his desires, and then gets back up; falls again and gets back up again; and continues this way over and over - the weapons of battle are still in his hands.

He is the victor!

May it be HaShem’s will that we merit to overcome the yetzer hara, and that we should always be willing to fight the battle, regardless of what we go through in our struggle with it. May we never give up, and may we merit the true nitzachon - a victory that lasts for all eternity.

Chag Sameach!
