Halacha Yomis
November 01, 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.
One who loves his wife as he loves himself, and who respects her even more than he respects himself, of him it is said, And you shall know that there is peace in your home.
He who is without a wife dwells without joy, blessing, goodness or peace.
The Talmud teaches us, Honor your wives that you may prosper. (Bava Metzia 59a). It also states, it would be more than enough if all they did was raise our children.
The world is in serious trouble...
