Parshas Chukas (5765)
By Mordechai Dolinsky
Clal Yisroel in the desert was supplied with a drinking water source from the well of Miriam, during her lifetime. A well is “the tool” with which we access the fresh, underground rivers similar to the faucet of a sink. The mind-boggling aspect of it is that it was not connected to anywhere or anything and the point of how it “worked” was the belief that when it is “connected” it only works through the auspices of the will of Hashem. Likewise, the whole actuality of the materialistic manifestation of the creation is only through the will of Hashem. The realization of this as a reality raises us to a level that we are no longer subjected to the physical parameters that the rest of the world is subjected to.
Have a wonderful Shabbos and an inspiring and uplifting month.
