In this lecture on the the portion of Tetzaveh and Shabbat Zachor, Michael reveals the power behind Moses name being omitted from this week's portion. We have a choice this shabbat to connect with the energy of Moses or to stay connected with the energy of doubt. It is on this shabbat that Moses comes to each of us who have a desire and gives us a spark of his soul and by taking on greater responsibility each of us has this opportunity. Michael concludes by revealing a teaching from Rav Elimelech of Lizhensk; that by perfoming small actions we awaken the supernal source of blessings.
Doubt is the greatest enemy to our spiritual growth, yet it’s something we all encounter. We may be experiencing doubt when we find ourselves feeling spiteful, angry, or that something is unfair. The core of any doubt is doubting the existence of the Light in everything. Our growth is to realize everything we encounter is from the Light, and for our benefit. Through this week’s energy we're supported to separate ourselves from our doubts, and begin to see the collateral beauty in everything.
