Make the decision to change! - Behar-Bechukotai

There was a couple who went to go see the Lubavitcher  Rebbe. The husband  had a bad high school experience but his wife wanted to so he did. When this couple got there, the Rebbe's secretary asked the husband if he has a question or if he wants a Bracha. He chose a question.

The question was as follows "why do the high schools have to be so strong on a person and why cant you be free and do what you want?" The answer is, HASHEM gives us mitzvos not that we will get punished if we disobey, but HE gives us mitzvos that if we do them we get close to HIM.

  In this weeks double parsha behar bechukosie we have the same thing. Every mitzva that is given, no matter what is said, is really to bring us closer to HASHEM. The same way we are getting closer to HASHEM spiritually,  with the will of HASHEM we should get closer physically with the coming of Moshiach in the close future.

MASHIACH NOW All the best, Avroham Yehudah Ross
