This Shabbos is Parashas Lech Lecha.
In this Parsha,HaShem asks Avram to 'Lech Lecha'-'Go for yourself,' to the land HaShem would show him.At first, HaShem never told him where he was being sent.Only that Avram must trust HaShem implicitly and leave all that Avram grew up with and go 'For himself.' This was the first of Avraham's Ten Tests.
The Words of HaShem are ,' Lech Lecha,' - ' 'Go for yourself,' showing that the Command was for Avram's sake.
Why would leaving behind his family and going to a place Avram never even knew, be for Avram's sake?
The answer to this is the answer to life itself.
HaShem Created Creation.HaShem Knows every corner of it.It is only HaShem Who Knows what is needed in this Creation He Created,and so it is only His Word we should trust , on how to live. When we follow His Torah , we don't need to worry about tomorrow , or where to go. All we need to do is trust HaShem as our Guide . The action of Avram trusting HaShem, to Guide him, showed with perfect faith that Avram totally believed in HaShem and that HaShem Knew Creation as only The Creator could, and thus, Avraham's action of following HaShem without needing to know where, proved without a doubt that Avram was acknowledging the Truth to the World that HaShem , the One and Only G-D , Created Creation , and when Avram listened to HaShem, he knew he was putting his destiny in the Hands of the One And Only G-D , Who Knows all and who would , without a doubt , have Avram's best interests at heart . For all that HaShem Commands of us and the tests in life we go through , is purely for our own good and benefit .
HaShem thus told Avram to 'Lech Lecha,' - 'To go for yourself,' for Avram's sake, for all that HaShem does, Knowing Creation in Its fullness and what is needed for the good of each part of It , HaShem always does for us and for our good. Thus HaShem told Avram 'Lech Lecha,' - 'Go for yourself,' for it was for the sake of Avram and his progeny that he would now have in its time , that HaShem was sending him, with his wife Iscah Sarah and his nephew Lot and the people he had brought to True belief of HaShem as One.
More than anything else, Avraham wanted a son, and only away from Ur Kasdim, was he and Sarah to have a son,one of the referred to Blessings that HaShem tells Avraham he would receive, near the beginning of this Sedra,that HaShem Would Make of Avraham, a great nation in the land 'That I Will Show you', so HaShem told Avram also to go for himself, for out of Ur of the Chaldees, would Avram have his precious son Yitzchak.
Our Sages say that Avraham was like a bottle of sweet perfume, that sweetens the air when it goes out of the bottle.Only when Avram would go out from Ur Kasdim into the World , could his true essence teach the World about HaShem, The One And Only G-D .
Life is filled with its own tests and obstacles that sometimes come and , from this Holy Parsha, we can learn, that all our trials , are purely for our own good . It may not appear so at the time , but in all things , HaShem does all ,for the good , for what we truly need , to gain holy life everlasting under the shelter of HaShem's 'Wings.'
HaShem told Avram to 'Lech Lecha,' which does not only mean ,'Go for yourself,' but can also mean , 'Go to yourself,' for it is only through faith in HaShem and listening to His Torah Laws and being the holy people we can be, that we can truly 'Go to ourselves,' to make ourselves who we really are within , in holiness.
As Avram was told to go and fulfill his true potential and become who is truly was in holiness for his own sake, so must we fulfill our true potential in and of holiness and become who HaShem Knows and Wants us to be , purely for our own benefit and for our own good and for the good of Creation , by the Love of HaShem .
I wish HaShem with Love, a Very Special and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and to all, a very special and beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love.

Parashas Noach
Our Parsha this Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan is Parashas Noach.
In this Parsha, as we know , HaShem Tells Noach to build an Ark of Gopher Wood into which , he and his wife Naamah, their three sons Shem, Cham and Yefes and their son's wives and the animals,two by two non Kosher and Seven Pairs of Kosher Animals were to enter.
In this Parsha, we also read about Nimrod, who organized the building of Bavel and the Tower of Bavel.
It took Noach 120 years to build the Ark, taking so long, so that the people around would be given the opportunity to repent.But they didn't.
It was just after the passing of Metushelach- Methuselah, the oldest man who ever lived, till 969,that the Mabul, the Flood started.
The Command by HaShem is that Noach is asked by HaShem 'Asei Lecha Teivat' - 'Make for yourself an Ark.' This is a strange thing to say, considering that Noach built the Ark not just for himself,but also for his family and the animals.So why would HaShem say to him,'Make for yourself an Ark.'
To understand the true meaning of this,we need to go back to the beginning of the Parsha.
The Parsha starts by calling Noach an 'Ish Tzaddik Tamim Hayah Bedorotaiv,' - ' A. Righteous man ,perfect in his generation.'
Our Rabbis say this can mean two different things. It can either mean that Noach was righteous in comparison to the generation that he was living in and had he lived in Avraham's time, he wouldn't have been looked upon as being as Righteous.Or our Rabbis say that this could also mean that considering how his entire generation was bad and thieving, Noach stood out alone against the entire world and thus it was a greater act of strength and goodness on his part to stand against all, and still do Righteousness, against the crowd and masses and the entire World around him.
So, putting these two opposite explanations, with the fact that HaShem Told Noach to build an Ark 'Lecha ,' ' For Him,' shows how these words could fit with both these opposite opinions.
On the one hand, if Noach was just Righteous compared to his generation, then the instruction to build an Ark for himself, shows that he should have been more forward in trying to bring others to HaShem and goodness, and not just be concerned for himself , and so , out of isolation, HaShem Might be Telling him to 'Build an Ark for Himself,' thus showing isolation. If it is the positive opinion,that he was so Righteous and put himself against all around him and still stood up for G-D , then these words to 'Build for himself an Ark,' was a show of how Noach stood up himself against all , and stood by HaShem and so HaShem asked him to 'Build for Himself an Ark,' for no one else was worthy.
I am inclined to believe that Noach stood up against the whole World's Wrongs and as the Parsha says, Noach Walked with G-D ,' like a friend,both in agreement of how the people of the World should be behaving.Though the other opinion talks of how HaShem said to Avraham in Torah 'Walk before Me and be perfect,' whereas with Noach ,HaShem says, ' Noach walked with G-D , ' as if to say that HaShem looked upon Avraham as being worthy to walk before HaShem, Noach walked with HaShem side by side and this can teach how, it is so very important not to Judge people by comparing them to others, like a parent who shouldn't compare one child to another . Each Generation is different and comes with new challenges, and so one needs to fairly judge each man by the surroundings he faces, and not compare him to another, who is faced with different challenges.
We can see this by looking at the Hebrew word 'Teivat,' - 'Ark.'
Within this Hebrew Word, we have thee word ' Tavah,' which means ' Claim,Demand and require,' which could suggest, when HaShem Says, ' Make for yourself a Claim, Demand and Requirement,' HaShem could also be Telling Noach to take Claim for the new World that will come through Noach's offspring and have them or demand of them that they do as HaShem Requires, as before this, due to the Nephilim, the Fallen ones, the World before the Mabul, did everything possible not to serve HaShem, and cause wickedness against their fellow, even moving their fellow's boundary, just a small enough amount that it would stay within the legal limits set at the time,yet still be theft.
We should also consider that there is perhaps something to learn,even from the first opinion, that Noach could have tried more to teach his generation to serve HaShem more, and not just only building and going into the Ark , but playing more of a role in helping others .From this concept , we can learn a lot too.True righteousness comes from worrying about others.That is true kindness.We learn this from the lesson of a bird called the Chassidah,which though it has the word 'Chessed' within it ,which means 'kindness ' it was so called , as a message to itself and others that one must care for others, not just those like oneself for caring for others that are like us , is the same as just caring for ourselves.This is what this bird does.It cares only for those of its own species and not for anyone else.This is not how HaShem wants us to be.
We are HaShem's Messengers on this physical plane to help all His Creation and help bring all His Creation to Him in holiness.
Wherever we are at any time , always has a purpose and reason to bring that part of the physicality and ourselves , to HaShem.Everywhere we find ourselves, has a purpose ,for HaShem and His Creation. We are all HaShem's little Malachim Angels to help all around us with selfless kindness as HaShem Does.HaShem Tells us to Emulate His Ways. And that is what we must do.This World is set before us in every step we take to bring HaShem and His Kindness to every part of it.
We are not to isolate ourselves and just worry about ourselves as people did before the flood.
The Mabul teaches us that we need to give to this World and the whole of Creation and not just take.We need to realize we are all HaShem's Children and we are all in this World to keep it a beautiful place as it was in the Beginning.
And with the sweet words that HaShem Told Noach ,'Asei Lecha Teivat,' - 'Make for yourself an Ark,' a deeper meaning now shows itself for all of us, for HaShem Speaks to us all when He Says to us that we must also ' Make ourselves into an Ark ' into which HaShem Can Dwell within us and among us in Holiness and so we can finally bring this World to its destination , where HaShem can Dwell with us in harmony together and Creation can finally reach its intended stage of being HaShem' s Bait House.
The first word of Torah is 'Bereishis' and the first and last letter of this word spells 'Bait' and the word in between spells 'Roshi,' which means 'My Leader.' Putting this together , we get the 'House of my (of Creation's) Leader,' and Creation's Leader is HaShem , which means that this is HaShem's House and we are to make ourselves into an Ark to let HaShem Dwell within us within Creation.
May we all always stand up like Noach for what is right and holy.May we all follow HaShem's Laws and make this World a Welcome Home for HaShem .
I wish HaShem with Love , a Blessed Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov with Love and to all , a blessed sweet and beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov with love.

Parashas Bereishis
Our Parsha this Shabbos just after Succos , Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah, when we begin to read the Torah anew, is Parashas Bereishis.
HaShem Begins the Torah with a 'Bet,' even though the first letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is an Alef, to show us that HaShem - Elokim (spelled with an Alef) , Is before all , where Creation is like HaShem's 'Bait' - 'House' for which we are to make HaShem welcome in His World - HaShem is before all as HaShem is G-D and HaShem Creates all . All things come from HaShem and thus the Alef, representing Elokim,shows that HaShem Alone Is Before Creation. In the very first verse of Bereishis, of Torah , we see that HaShem Is alone as The Only Creator of all things Heaven and Earth. HaShem only , Created Heaven and Earth and all that is in them . The first verse of Torah contains seven words , the same number that is the Gematriah of the word Mashiach, a time that we will have closeness with our Creator.Creation heads toward the End Of Days.
All of Creation, HaShem Created through the Hebrew Alphabet, where all things are formed with the Hebrew letters.Our Tanach tells us that HaShem Created the Hebrew Alphabet ,'At the Beginning of His Way,' of Creation.' We see this also in this first line of Torah, with the Hebrew word ' Et,' which appears just after the Word 'Elokim' and just before 'Shamaim Ve 'Et Ha'Aretz.' The word 'Et' contains , the letters 'Alef and Tav, ' in other words showing us that HaShem Created the Hebrew Letters ' Alef to Tav,' and all letters in between, which is the Hebrew Alphabet.
HaShem Spoke or Pronounced and Creation , part by part , came into being , day after day till the end of the Sixth Day and on the Seventh Day Shabbos Came.
HaShem Is Over and Abundant in Kindness and Giving and when HaShem Created Creation, He Gave too much light and withdrew some of it and Himself (Tzimtzum) , for He is All Encompassing , and HaShem let's a little of this special original extra light come down every Shabbos, on which we are to Rest.This light that HaShem withdrew, will come to us in Mashiach's time.
We all know what happened when the Angel Samael, came to tempt Chava in the snake and how Chava and Adam were banished from Gan Eiden for eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which was joined at the root , in the centre of the Garden, to the Tree of Life.
Samael came to Chava and tempted her and as we know, got her to eat the fruit.Samael tricked her and she spoke more than they were Commanded by HaShem, for HaShem only Told them not to eat of the fruit, but there was no prior Command not to touch it.So when Chava said more than HaShem had Commanded , and she added that they were not to touch it, Samael pushed her against the Tree and thus made it easier for her to take of its fruit making her think twice about her first premise.
In those moments of contact that Samael forced himself upon her,one of her offspring Kayin, was imbued with a part of Samael's negativity and so, she said about Kayin in naming him, ' I have made a child with a divine being,' for Samael had , without her control, forced himself upon her.
We know how the couple were chased out of the Garden, and Kayin became the first murderer . How far , negativity can spread.
A Third son was born to Chava and Adam , many years later , called Shais and it is from him, that his generations came down to Noach.
HaShem Created Creation with so much love.
It is interesting how,even Heaven was Started on the First Day and only Completed on the Second Day.One would think that Heaven, Shamaim, would be Created totally finished and complete as it is a place that one would think of as perfection.'Heaven is a place of perfection.But even Heaven, Shamaim needed to go toward a stage of Completeness and Perfection to get to its Holy State and so HaShem Created it and Completed it over Two Days.
What does this come to teach us.
It comes to teach us that even though Heaven, the place of Perfection,needed to get to Completion,and so do we.
Perfection is earned, not given.Perfection needs work. It needs trials and tests and learning experiences to make one better. To improve oneself.Heaven is not just gained on a silver platter, for nothing. Each and every day that we awaken, we need to work at earning Heaven one step at a time.As our Pirkei Avos says, we are not expected to complete the task but we are not free to remove ourselves from it.It is only through doing each Mitzvah of HaShem and working each and every day to fulfill HaShem's Wish, that we can slowly work up to Shamaim Heaven .
Each and every Mitzvah is there to bring us up to HaShem.
Like Heaven, that was not yet stable till the Second Day. So do we need to grow in Torah and Mitzvos day by day. There are so many facets to the human being, that it takes many days and many Mitzvos to perfect each facet.Thus HaShem in His Wisdom,gave us many Mitzvos to fulfill so that we can work at perfecting ourselves , so we can enter Heaven.
As HaShem said to Avraham, ' Walk Before me and be perfect, ' so can we gain perfection one day at a time , by walking to HaShem step by step every day.
May we all reach our intended completeness , which in Hebrew is 'Shaleim' and thus gain the Final Peace ' Shalom' of Mashiach's Time and so , bring the World to its intended Completeness ' Shaleim' where we can sit with HaShem within His Love.
I wish HaShem with Love, a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love and to all, a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love.

Succos and Parashas Vezos Ha Bracha
Our Holy Festival of Succos reminds us of how HaShem Watched over us Jews , in the Wilderness.
The very meaning of the word 'Succah,' means 'Shade,' which is exactly what HaShem does every moment of our lives.HaShem Shelters us in the Wings of His Love.If we would only Keep His Mitzvos ,how close we could be to Him.
During Succos, we take the four species and bring them together and shake them during Succos.The four species remind us of the different types of Yidden coming together as one.
This Holy Festival,when we leave our permanent dwellings,to live in our Temporary Succah ,teaches us to have faith in HaShem always, Who watches over us in this physical World.To HaShem Only, Who is the Only G-D , is it right to pray, and on every day of Succos, we do our Hoshanos, asking G-D to save us.
At the end of Succos, we celebrate Shemini Atzeres, where , HaShem, Loving our closeness , during these Holy days, Asks us as His guests, to stay close to Him one more day for a special Festival , like a King who so enjoys the company of his guest, that he asks the guest to tarry just one more day. During Simchas Torah, at the end of this period,we end the Torah of Parashas Vezos Ha Brachah , where our beloved Moshe , continues the Brochas for the Tribes that Yaakov Blessed the Tribes with , near the end of the Book of Bereishis, and we say our goodbye to our most holy beloved Moshe ,through whom, HaShem Saw Moshe Worthy of giving His Holy Torah. May Moshe reach the heights of Shamaim. It is on Simchas Torah , that we begin anew the reading of the Torah , in the Book of Bereishis.
HaShem , Wants so , our closeness. HaShem Wants To Have a Close Relationship with every part of His Creation. It is in each and all of our hands, to ensure that happens.It is up to us, to stop going our own way and travel on HaShem's Pathway toward Him.
So as we celebrate our festival of Succos and get ready to finish and begin the Torah anew, let us make a fresh start and travel, from now on , only on HaShem's Pathway toward Him and give HaShem , for all the Wonderful things HaShem Blesses us with ,give HaShem ourselves and the very breath of life He Gives us, and so , let's give HaShem our closeness in love.
With Love to HaShem, I wish HaShem with Love, a Sweet Succos with Love and to all my fellow Yidden, a sweet Succos with love.
The very meaning of the word 'Succah,' means 'Shade,' which is exactly what HaShem does every moment of our lives.HaShem Shelters us in the Wings of His Love.If we would only Keep His Mitzvos ,how close we could be to Him.
During Succos, we take the four species and bring them together and shake them during Succos.The four species remind us of the different types of Yidden coming together as one.
This Holy Festival,when we leave our permanent dwellings,to live in our Temporary Succah ,teaches us to have faith in HaShem always, Who watches over us in this physical World.To HaShem Only, Who is the Only G-D , is it right to pray, and on every day of Succos, we do our Hoshanos, asking G-D to save us.
At the end of Succos, we celebrate Shemini Atzeres, where , HaShem, Loving our closeness , during these Holy days, Asks us as His guests, to stay close to Him one more day for a special Festival , like a King who so enjoys the company of his guest, that he asks the guest to tarry just one more day. During Simchas Torah, at the end of this period,we end the Torah of Parashas Vezos Ha Brachah , where our beloved Moshe , continues the Brochas for the Tribes that Yaakov Blessed the Tribes with , near the end of the Book of Bereishis, and we say our goodbye to our most holy beloved Moshe ,through whom, HaShem Saw Moshe Worthy of giving His Holy Torah. May Moshe reach the heights of Shamaim. It is on Simchas Torah , that we begin anew the reading of the Torah , in the Book of Bereishis.
HaShem , Wants so , our closeness. HaShem Wants To Have a Close Relationship with every part of His Creation. It is in each and all of our hands, to ensure that happens.It is up to us, to stop going our own way and travel on HaShem's Pathway toward Him.
So as we celebrate our festival of Succos and get ready to finish and begin the Torah anew, let us make a fresh start and travel, from now on , only on HaShem's Pathway toward Him and give HaShem , for all the Wonderful things HaShem Blesses us with ,give HaShem ourselves and the very breath of life He Gives us, and so , let's give HaShem our closeness in love.
With Love to HaShem, I wish HaShem with Love, a Sweet Succos with Love and to all my fellow Yidden, a sweet Succos with love.
