"If you go in My statutes." [1]

Our Sages interpret the word "if" as a plea, [2] in the sense of "if only you would go in My statutes."

G-d's pleading (as it were) with Israel to keep the Torah, in itself aids man and gives him the ability to remain steadfast in his choice of the good.

Moreover, "...you go in My statutes" - the soul then becomes a Mehaleich, it progresses. [3] *

   

Notes:

3. (Back to text) To higher levels of achievement. See Iyar 6.

   * With the advent of Mashiach, there will be revealed the superior quality of the traits of simplicity and wholeheartedness found in the Avoda of simple folk who Daven and recite Tehillim with simple sincerity.

Day four of week 6

Netzach of yesod

An essential component of bonding is its endurance. Its ability to withstand challenges and setbacks. Without endurance there is no chance to develop true bonding.

Am I totally committed to the one I bond with? How much will I endure and how ready am I to fight to maintain this bond? Is the person I bond with aware of my devotion?

Exercise for the day: Demonstrate the endurance level of your bonding by confronting a challenge that obstructs the bond.
