gardening, a metaphor of our own inner

i think it goes way beyond the water and the sun. Have you tried getting rid of the weeds that invade the garden? Look right after the rain, how they spread like vicious cancer choking the cherished plants you hoped to see grow and give flowers. Green thumbs are able to hold the "chutzpedick"green molester by the middle point and in one sudden swing yank the despised evil growth. Have you seen how your chosen plants react to your care? I have seen them smile back at me expanding breathing taking the room that they needed to "flourish".

I think I am mad.

I was in Crown Heights for Gimmul Tamuz this year. But earlier I was at the ariport and was close to missing my flight. I passed by a man who was not wearing a kippa but spoke hebrew. I asked him to put on teffilin and he asked for tzizis. While this was taking place there was a certain voice in me saying, "are you mad, dont you know you have an expensive flight to catch, how can you stand here and even offer him tzizis". I replied to that voice, we are going to the Rebbe, do you think that putting teffilin on another Jew could make us late?

Also...

You can also share the fruit of your labors (haha! it works both ways!) with your friends and family, and allow them to benefit from them as well! (Like sharing your knowledge with your friends....)

Gentle Steward(ship) in the sand-box

Thank you, R. Infinity, for harvesting a lovely "pearl; a teaching from our earthly mud-life cycle of experience that brings forth our heavenly counterpart energies: ray of light and sunshine from heaven.

And thank you to Ari Edson for his wonderful blessing and bidding to walk gently with our mind's energies with Torah as guide.

And thank you both for admitting the feminine energies into the study of kabbalah!! Bravo, again.

read-learn

For a long time i was one of those students, who read-learn. It turns out i really did not learn much. I was missing the nourishing sunshine of G-d that comes from prayer and meditation. To really learn something and put it into practice is a process that cannot be accomplished simply by reading. Now that I take the time to enjoy the sunshine, the fruits of my learning are manifesting. Thanks Rabbi, "Extreme Gardening" is brilliant! As always.

Soften The Soil- "...your earthiness needs to be softened."
In the lesson it seemed that the soil is a metaphor for the Torah that a person has learned. The Torah that is encompassed by the brain has to be softened and that is through prayer.

WHAT A PLEASURE!!

It's really a pleasure to watch and listen to all these - to "get" the message in such an informal way. Great stuff Rabbi !! Thank you.

Simpicity is the best teacher

Baal Shem Tov taught us that nature, and the simplicity of life is where one will find the most profound truths. Todah rabbah, rebbe
