The foot – the lowest part of the body – signifies the simplest aspect of our relation to G‑d: submission to His will. In contrast, oil – the source of candlelight – signifies insight (chochmah, in Hebrew), the most sublime faculty of the intellect. Thus, immersing the foot in oil signifies our recognition of the virtue of simple submission over intellect.
The fact that the tribe of Asher “gratified his brothers” by supplying them with olive oil indicates that their attitude toward our relationship with G‑d influenced the other tribes. The deep sense of selflessness that they inspire within us enables us to weather even the most difficult challenges to our faith.1


Good 🌻 Morning!
"The yoke [oppressions] shall be destroyed because of the anointing (oil); the inner supernatural "oil of joy" shining as light (Isaiah 10:27).
Baruch HaShem,

What a wonderful day to be alive!
