Lesson Description

Torah's portion Re'eh which translates to See, coincides with the birthday of Rav Berg. This week's portion centers on a single and life altering practice: learning to truly see the presence of the Light in everyone and in every situation painful or joyful. Kabbalah reveals that being able to see the Light in all is a powerful opportunity to draw closer to the Creator, which is the real definition of a blessing. Eitan shares that our instinctive, reactive perception shows us only the external layer of life, while the deeper true beneath is that everything, even hardship, carries concealed Light meant to strengthen our trust and certainty. The path to receive real growth is pausing before reacting, resisting the pull of instant judgment or instant relief. As we move towards Rosh Hashanah, this practice should be daily by beginning each morning asking the Light for the strength to see clearly, and returning to that intention every time life throws us off.
