Word from the Rabbi -

Meshugah for Moshiach
28 August 2010 - 18 Elul 5770

Wandering in the Fields

Shalom,

The King (G-d) is in the fields (accessible for all to approach). As we near Rosh Hashana - the day of judgment - The King is listening to us ever so closely and is attentive to our every overture to draw closer to whence we emanate from.

Life as we think we know it is full of variety, including things we appreciate and others we are not able to perceive their benefit to us.

However, if we are to draw ourselves heavenward we need to release ourselves from our self centred state of existence. Thus, as we near the day of the annual self reflection and judgment of where we stand, it is time to leave our "cities" and go to the "fields". "Cities" are filled with continuous demands of involvement in worldly affairs, whereas "fields" reflect a state of freedom from such matters, and an atmosphere where one can be reflective and connect with their true self uninhibited by the winds of society that howl around us.

It is when we go "out" into the "fields" that The King comes to “greet us”. When G-d sees the efforts we put in to shed external influences and come closer to our source, G-d "meets" and assists us in this journey.

Indeed, when G-d sees that we want nothing less than the true and complete redemption for all, G-d reveals to us Moshiach, Now!!!

~ Rabbi Mosheh M. Serebryanski
