THE LEVIATHAN

Dear Family,

I hope that everyone is well.

Mazal Tov to Dovber Kehaty on his birthday tonight. Wishing you to keep growing in the beautiful way that you have been doing, Dovber, and continue to give your parents much nachas BEH

Mazal Tov to Shmuel Levy on the wedding of his sister Sima this week. The couple should build a binyan adei ad together, and wishing you and all the Family many more simchos BEH. Mazal Tov!

Mazal Tov to Reuven and Chana Lieba whose Anniversary is on Sunday. Wishing you both many more happy years together, in good health, and much joy from your children and grandchildren.

And on the same day , it is also Sara's birthday. (Glick ne Davidoff). Mazal Tov Sara, and wishing you, Aaron and Family a wonderful year together.

This week's Sedra is Bechukosai, where we learn about the great rewards that we receive for keeping Torah and Mitzvos (Im bechukosei telechu. If you will walk in my Statutes .26:3-4.)

And in relation to this I saw a beautiful Dvar Torah from Mashiach Day by Day, (21st Iyar), on how we can improve the quality of our observance:

"The Midrash tells us about the LEVIATHAN and the SHOR HABOR, a COLOSSAL FISH and a GIGANTIC OX, which represent two great forces of Holiness.

Hashem will have them joust with each other in front of the righteous, when Mashiach comes.

The mighty Leviathan cruises effortlessly through the water with a single flap of its fins.

So too a Master of the inner Teachings of Torah, traverses the entire Spiritual cosmos with a single thought. When he views something in this world he immediately traces it back to its G-dly source. He senses deep significance in every detail of Creation and in every letter of the Torah...

By seeing the G-dly source of the Commandments, Torah and Mitzvos, we will perform them with greater inspiration and understanding."

Gut Shabbos to all!
