The purpose of every human being is to serve his Creator, and that is a service of great joy:
“I, puny mortal and decidedly finite being, serve with my deeds the Infinite Creator of All Worlds! I am bound to the Source of Life from birth, and all the many raging waters of this world cannot tear me away from that bond. Even if I sometimes fail, I may always return and in a single moment reconnect all my soul.”
I am one year back to Judaism After 40 years of being away from Judaism, it makes me feel good, to know that Hashem has welcomed me back, and that I know I made the best decision of my life. Baruch Hashem!!! Reply
Purim feast and the Shema For Purim, drinking so I think like Hamen, does not help me much as time wears on and the brews flow down like a river of wine, but I know he is worse off after I stop drinking for the night because the time tables turn on him and he is exposed as the culprit he becomes for trying to murder Mortechi. I realize I need to pray the Shema to remember where I belong, and Raise the Flag may be a small book with only a handful of stories but this is important and significant export from creation. Reply
profound The best way to describe the journey of one's special connection to the One, and in His infinite love we can always find hope and shelter Reply
The Infinite Connection My "Puny" life, you see... despite and during all failures in my past before profound ideas that G-d was always there... I always knew as I failed and continued to fail that G-d was there so he was the center becoming the only reason I would live, and ultimately why I would risk my life for him. Reply
The Infinate Connection Dearest Rabbi Freeman, So many of your Daily Doses hit the nail and take me steps ahead of myself and closer to G-D. This one brought tears to my eyes.Thank you for helping connect every day. Reply
Very true Amen and Amen. Reply

From the time of our births till the time of our deaths, we’ll always be bonded to our creator, G d. No matter where we live or what type of person we are or become, we can’t run and we can’t hide from G d. His overwhelming presence is everywhere and permeates into the smallest places of the universe. We can choose to make him a part of our lives or we can completely shut him out. Either way G d won’t shut his door and choose to never look our way. That’s one of the many reasons G d is so awesome, among many other reasons. G d has patience that’ll last our lifetime just waiting for us to call out his name for the first time or the nine hundredth time. Until we realize that we need him and he wants us to need him, we’ll never be truly happy or free in our minds and spirits and our bodies. The connection was made to fit, it was made to work and it was made to bring true happiness and contentment.
