Rabbi Wein - Chukas, 5761 - Torah.org
Rabbi Wein - Chukas, 5761 - Torah.org: "And Heaven always has its own inscrutable calculations and It also has the last word on the matter. This is certainly obvious from the narrative that appears in the Torah reading of Chukat.
Moshe is denied entry into the Land of Israel by God. His striking the rock at Meriva instead of speaking to it as God had instructed him is the proximate cause for his punishment of being excluded from leading the People into the Land of Israel. How this apparently severe punishment fits the transgression of Moshe, is the subject of much discussion among the commentators to the Torah. But, however we will resolve this matter of crime and punishment, transgressions and retribution, the basic fact of the Torah remains - Moshe was prevented by Heaven from realizing his goal of entering the Land of Israel. And Moshe's tragic disappointment led to dramatic consequences for all of Jewish and world history"

Ratzon- Primal Desire "Nothing Stands in the Way of Desire"
Rav Kalonymous Tapping the Void Principle
Rav Kalonymous Kalman Shapira, the Piazentzer Rebbe, also known as the Warsaw ghetto Rebbe, teaches the powerful lesson based on the following hypothetical illustration:Imagine yourself standing by a burning house.
The house is yours and inside of it are your most precious possessions and closest family members, G-d Forbid. How would you react?! Certainly, you would react with superhuman adrenalin-filled clarity and power in saving whatever you could.
There's no choice!! Most likely, every single aspect of your psyche would be enlisted in an effort that would bring superhuman results. Have you ever heard a story of a normal, everyday mother seeing a child of hers run out in front of an oncoming truck and the mother almost literally flying in the nick of time with one hand swooping up the child and with the other hand stopping the two ton truck?...
...Rav Kalonymous is trying to teach us is that we don't have to wait to be confronted with emergencies like these to illicit a very potent power we have inside of ourselves. We can simulate, or tap, this sense of urgency to achieve virtually anything we want.
This is the power of "ratzon," or primal desire, the third of three realms of the highest sefira, Keter. About this aspect of the psyche, our Sages say, "Nothing stands in the way of desire," and this will be the subject of the essay...

14 Kislev 5768, (24 November 2007). Torah Portion. VaYishlach, Genesis : 32:4-36:43.
Yakov was a realist. Yakov is the forefather to understand when we want to examine how to fit in with society, family, and friends. A superficial and unsophisticated approach to Yakov does not give the Torah student the proper perspective. Yakov knew how to put himself into the other guys shoes.
...positive staement about Yakov's character, he was not concerned about public opionion on an egotisitical platform, rather he was concerned that at some point family/smamily at some point Yakov might simply overstay his welcome...
An excerpt from a large overview in progress.

Lurianic Kabbalah
Lurianic Kabbalah: "As a result of the Breaking of the Vessels, the Primordial Adam was himself partly shattered into a multitude of individual souls, who themselves are comprised of the same fragments or Kellipot that form our world, and which are exiled and alienated in the 'Other Side.'. The task of individual men and women is to extract (via an act of birur) those sparks (netzotzim) that are his or her fortune to encounter in life, and to raise and spiritualize them, so as to reconstitute the Sefirot and the figure of the Primordial Man as five Partzufim (Visages or Personalities of God) and restore the harmony of the opposites, "
