Halacha Yomis
November 02, 2024
A disciple asked the Baal Shem Tov: Why is it that one who clings to G-d and knows he is close to Him, sometimes experiences a sense of distance, and loneliness? The Baal Shem Tov explained: When a father sets out to teach his son to walk, he stands in front of him stretching his two hands to either side of the child, so that ha cannot fall. The boy then proceeds toward his fathers outstretched arms. The moment he is close to him, however, the father moves slightly away, and holds his hands farther apart. He does this over and over again so that the child may learn to walk.
When a man suffers, he ought not to say: That's bad! That's bad! Nothing that G-d imposes on man is bad. But it is all right to say: That's bitter. For among medicines, there are some that are made with bitter herbs.
When young, remember that service to the L-rd is like food - best when fresh. When old, remember that service to G-d is like wine - best with age.
