Parshas Vayakail-Pekudei
By Mordechai Dolinsky
The Chazal in the Medrash in our parsha (52:3) relate that Rav Abahu due to terrible illness was on the verge of passing on, hovering between both worlds, had a glimpse of the next world and was pleasantly surprised at the great reward awaiting him there. He exclaimed that he thought all his efforts were in vain; obviously very puzzling—for a person must recognize, appreciate and value his spiritual accomplishments. Reb Abahu surely recognized his great spiritual accomplishments; however he feared that one of his actions might have deleted his awesome spiritual treasure chest. One great hurt, unjustifiable administered, might have the power to eradicate everything. Cry to Hashem that we are worthy of accomplishing our true purpose.
Have a wonderful Shabbos and a beautiful Chodesh.
