​One also has to reveal, repair, and balance, any of the abilities of the soul that haven’t yet been revealed, repaired, or balanced.

But this should not be done with a perspective of a war against the evil within oneself.

Rather, it must be done with a positive perspective, from the understanding that every part of ourselves, every ability of our soul, is a gift from Hashem and a part of us.

After we have revealed, balanced, and repaired the abilities we aren’t making use of, we need to become connected with them and utilize them properly, and we will get vitality and joy from these abilities no less than how we can get vitality and joy from our strong and good abilities.

​This is the inner perspective to have on all self-recognition and self-actualization, and to the extent that we view our soul and its abilities in an inner, positive way like this, our ability to recognize our soul and work with our abilities will be refined, and we will be much closer to repairing our souls and reaching self-perfection in this world.

Let's make no mistake about it  - Lag B'aomer connotes many mixed feelings & emotions now...

Klal Yisroel proved their finest in myriads of aspects - but especially in the over 6300 Kabbalos & Ma'asim Tovim that were collectively taken on in the week of Shiva and Shloshim the period. An absolute Kiddush Sheim Shamayim of awe-worthy caliber!

Ashreichim Klal Yisroel!!

A beautiful compilation of these Kabbalos & Ma'asim Tovim were put together in a beautiful book and were hand-delivered to each family.

It's Lag B'aomer again - and the feelings they're experiencing we cannot understand nor comprehend. What can we do to convey to them & most of all to our Avinu Sh'Bashamayim that we are united in the Tza'ar/united in support/united in gifting the Neshamos HaKedoshim an Aliyas Neshama/united in offering whatever Nechama we humanly can.

Just for TODAY! 
Can we do one thing/refrain from one thing just for TODAY?
Can we offer a zechus for an Aliya for the Kedoshim just for TODAY?
Can we offer a teeny tiny feeling of "I care" just for TODAY?

Please use the spreadsheet attached and do your part just for TODAY!

For those who have the ability - please consider utilizing social media properly and forwarding/blasting/statusing/sharing this message on whichever platforms you can.

Tizku L'Mitzvos!

May the Mishpachos of the Kedoshim & the greater Mishpachas Klal Yisroel have the ultimate Nechama with the arrival of Moshiach sooner than soon!

ROCKETS & MERON TRAGEDY: IS MASHIACH COMING?

QUESTION
Are the rockets now in Eretz Yisrael a sign of the “war of Gog and Magog” and that Mashiach is coming?

ANSWER
It is not a sign – it is a part of the war of Gog and Magog, for we are already
amidst it.

LESSONS TO BE LEARNED FROM THE MERON TRAGEDY

QUESTION
When more people told me about it, I said Hashem wants us to do teshuva.

To my surprise, people had strong negative reactions to that!

One wanted to be in the moment of grief feeling for the families of the victims and absorbing the shock, basically calling me unsensitive to the pain of others.

Another did not want to be blamed and told me I was burning up the world.

And both felt very strongly that telling people to do teshuva was too harsh on people who cannot take it, who have gone off the derech hearing those crushing messages about Hashem’s anger at us and becoming hardened and cold to Him.

A third person told me that she is so numb from everything that the tragedy simply has not registered in any way.

I realize that the galus has been long and we are storm tossed and we need Hashem to be gentle with us. Is the message that Hashem wants the Yidden to do teshuva applicable here?

ANSWER
Speak to each person on their own level and in their "language."

Any one lesson that can be learned from something will not be understood by everyone equally.

QUESTION
Is the [negative] reactivity to that all a kelipah in which the very light Hashem wants to come into the world being concealed?

ANSWER
Yes, but before giving over the message to others, first see if the message will be taken positively or negatively by the other.

QUESTION
If it is indeed a message to do teshuvah, what is a way to respond so that those experiencing a push back to doing teshuva can recognize Hashem and “do the work” of opening their hearts?

ANSWER
...You need to figure out what the individual in question needs to hear, based on his on her personal soul and what you think they need to hear.

The Baal HaTanya writes that some people were created NOT to conquer a Midda; just for the battle itself.

There has to be a side to you that is enjoying working without success, meaning just to enjoy the "working" on the Midda itself.

The world today is heavily involved with success.

They say that even the most successful people have a "Blue Monday."

 FROM YWN:
The Israel Dog Unit issued an "urgent appeal to the public" in its search for a missing youth whose life may be in danger.

Avraham Moshe Kleinerman, 16, of Modiin Illit was last seen over a month ago at Meron.

He has a thin build, dark hair and eyes, and wears glasses.

The unit requests that anyone who knows about his whereabouts or could be of assistance in finding him should contact:
— Israel Police at 100
— the Israel Police Modiin Illit station at 08-644-7200
— or the Israel Dog Unit-Search and Rescue at 054-487-6709.

***
PLEASE DAVEN AND SAY TEHILLIM THAT HASHEM OPENS THE EYES OF THE SEARCHERS AND LET'S AVRAHAM BE FOUND AND THAT NO HARM COMES TO HIM.  

UPDATE 3- MAY-2022 SUSPECTED ABDUCTION BY ARABS.  PLEASE DAVEN AND SAY TEHILLIM THAT NO HARM COMES TO HIM!  Here's what was printed in YWN:

Avraham was once injured by Palestinian Arabs throwing stones at him in the Shomron and even has a large scar on his forehead due to a stone thrown at him.

According to his father, he was hospitalized after the incident and has never been the same since, wandering around confused since he was released from the hospital.

Perhaps due to the trauma of the incident, he attempted in the past to return to the scene of the attack despite the fact that it occurred in Area A, which is legally forbidden for Israeli citizens to enter and extremely dangerous.

Additionally, the IDU received a threatening message in Arabic from a Jordanian telephone number that Avraham was captured and would be killed in 24 hours.

Security officials fear that he indeed may have been abducted.

“This is very serious,” said IDU director Yekutiel Ben-Yaakov. “Over a month has passed and it’s as if the ground swallowed him up. We are not ruling out a terrorist motive. I can’t say more at this time, other than request from the public to contact us if they can recall seeing Avraham any time over this past month, at our special missing person hotline.” 

​PLEASE INCREASE YOUR PRAYERS AND TEHILLIM FOR HIM THAT HASHEM PROTECTS HIM.

Thank You for Saving Me From Social Media, Rabbi Wallerstein
