Parshas Re’ay (5770)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

In the Chazal we find the counterpart of Rashi’s quote, that those who kofer in avoda zara are modeh to the Torah. We are surrounded by infinite issues that present avoda zara tests. Do we attribute, chas v’shalom power to the doctor, the surgeon; do we have confidence for our financial needs in our business opportunities? By relating to these many tests that surround us in the proper way we are actually being kofer in avoda zara and exclaiming our belief in Torah.

All the blessings and klolos come from spiritual sources Above and are crystallized in our material world through special connections. A special zchus of being part of Klal Yisroel is that we get the wisdom and sight of this connection which is Har Grizim and Har Avol.

In these dark times before the coming of Moshiach, Hashem enables us to see Him even to a greater degree if we look and search.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a successful Chodesh Elul to culminate in a Shana Tova.
