SUCCESS POTENTIAL
Shabbos 2018-09-29 is Sukkos (no weekly parsha in the diaspora); filed under Yom Tov.
Dear Family,
I hope everyone is well and having a very happy Sukkos.
As we are now already familiar, we have different visitors to our Sukkah on each of the days of Sukkos - Ushpizim.
This coming Shabbos we have Yosef Hatzadik, and the Chassidishe one is the Rebbe Maharash.
An interesting quality that they both share is the potential to jump over difficulties and reach very great success in the process
The Rebbe Maharash
He was famous for his saying lechatchileah ariiber -from the outset climb right over to the top.
Ie the world says - if you have a problem try and manoeuvre out of it, and if you cant then try and climb over it.
I say , from the outset climb right over the top.
Ie difficulties should be 'taken by the horns' and overcome.
Yosef Hatzadik
The above adage of the Rebbe Maharsh is not theoretical, but a truth that can be practically applied, as witnessed in the life of Yosef.
He rose from an imprisoned slave to be the viceroy of Egypt
The lesson brought out by The Rebbe is that no individual should feel hampered or handicapped.
WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ATTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ACHIEVEMENT IN BOTH SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL MATTERS.
GUT Shabbos and Gut Yom Tov to all.
