I know that I did not sign up for tonight, but I wanted to post one anyway – hope that nobody minds 🙂
So, for the near future, Eretz Yisroel and Chutz L’Aretz will be on different Sedrah’s. So, this post is for the ‘just read’ Parsha of Noso in E”Y, and for the forthcoming one in Chutz. Enjoy it
Any interaction with another person can have an effect on many, many people, let alone the people with whom they have direct contact on a daily basis. Of course, in the opposite scenario, the same is true with a nice gesture, a kind word; this too will spread far and wide.
Our lives are based around groups; we are constantly in a group here or there. In all the actions we do, we must consider all factors which will procure the effects they will entail. Groups as a whole can be destroyed easily, like by making a chillul HaShem or spreading Lashon Hara in a family. One person telling the other something that a third party did causes complete disharmony in the Kahal as a whole, not only to those involved. If we would just open our eyes, we would see the damaging effects!
All in all, we learn a great lesson about caring, and how much we have to strive to keep shalom between everybody. We should all merit the sensitivity to be more careful in our day to day interactions, causing peace and harmony within our surroundings, and through this, in turn, merit the coming of Moshiach speedily in our days.
