Get to Heaven Keep the Seven

Everybody wants spirituality. To be a good person means to walk in G-d's ways. How does that translate to reality? The only guidebook to spirituality that has stood the test of time is the Hebrew Bible. The Bible says that the Jews will be a light onto the nations. But if you are not a born Jew, you have to convert, which is not so easy!! If you do convert, it is a lot of work to be a Jew (three times a day prayer, keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath).

This blog will show you how to be Jewish without the work!!

Yehuda Lave, Spiritual Advisor and Counselor

These are the words of Rabbi Shlomo Lorincz zt"l regarding his remarkable interview in the early 1950s with former U. S. President Harry S. Truman, who said, "Three thousand years ago, you Jews saved humanity, wild mankind, via your Torah, so too I believe and hope that, even nowadays, you, the Jewish Nation, will be successful again, to enlighten and to heal the beasts of cruelty in our midst and save the world from total destruction."
 
Rabbi Lorincz repeated President Truman's words from the podium of the Knesset, and added: "The wise among the nations know that the job of the Jewish Nation is to be a light unto the nations, and through the Torah that is in our hands to save the world from destruction and to cause goodness to come to the world. If we don't actualize this mission, our friends will turn their backs on us and they will conduct themselves solely focused on their own interests, and then they will favor the hundred million Arabs and the billion Moslems over the handful of Jews."

Getting a wife for your son

 Before Avraham quietly exits the Biblical stage, he carefully instructs and deputizes his trusted servant, Eliezer to find an appropriate wife for his son, Yitzchak. Why did Avraham, the father, assume this responsibility? After all, Yitzchak was surely old enough to find his own spouse. The Tosefta in Kedushin (quoted in Kedushin 29a) codifies this obligation and enjoins all fathers to follow Avraham's example. Why?

 

Rabbi Akiva tells us in the Mishna in Eidiyos (4:9) that among the attributes a father bequeaths to his child is "mispar hadoros l'fanav, the number of the generations before him, v'hu ha'keitz, and this is the appointed end." Rav Soloveitchik explains this rather enigmatic passage to mean this: A parents' responsibility to their child is not exhausted by the physical and emotional effort involved in rearing the baby to adulthood. In addition to insuring the physical welfare of the child, there exists an additional duty to make sure the child understands and is willing to assume his critical role in the great chain of our Mesorah and to remain forever loyal and dedicated to that sacred tradition. Such a role cannot be fulfilled without the right life-partner. Avraham needed a Sarah and Yitzchak would require a Rivka in order to insure that the "number of generations before him" would perpetuate beyond their lives.

 

Therefore, Avraham cannot depart before he demonstrates the importance of thinking beyond his own life and help guarantee the future for his posterity as Gd's chosen People by arranging for the marriage of his son. "And this is the appointed end, keitz." In Rav Soloveitchik's view, only in this way can the ultimate keiz, the long awaited redemption occur.
