The portion of Bamidbar is always read before Shavout. This week we have the ability to see how far we need to go, how much we need to break our shells in order to reach our final destination. Rav Ashlag reveals that one of the keys we need to transform is to connect with sparks of righteous souls called iburim. This Shabbat we have a special opportunity to gain the assistance of righteous souls. We also learn that many times we find the logic for why things should not happen. As Michael explains, we cannot fall into the trap of false logic.
This week’s energy of Bamidbar pushes us to face our Opponent – the force that challenges us – to understand how it operates in our lives. Only through this understanding, and the spiritual work and change it enables for each of us, can we bring ourselves inner peace. When we have a force to push us, we can grow to reach our highest selves. Seek that force out this week, embrace it, and see how it only exists to drive you to become better.
