So, we need to be sure that what we’re getting has value, we have to make sure that we use the credit liberally, and for what it’s meant to be used for.
We all need to be sure not to get confused or distracted or side-tracked by any of the “side shows” taking place. There is sure to be a lot of hullabaloo, but we need to remain focused on what the days are really all about: We will be celebrating the climax of Tishrei, which began with our declarations of kabolas hamalchus , and now will become internalized and personalized. It’s a chance to acquire this to become a part of our life for the entire year, it should be a year of hatzlocho in serving Hashem with kabolas ol and simcha.
We may think, that’s a nice idea, but way too lofty for me. I was barely able to deal with Rosh Hashonoh, when the Eibishter’s Kingship was still in a way of makif . But to be able to feel it in a pnimiyus? I’m just not on that level!
But that’s exactly why we need the credit. Because when we consider what we are aiming for, we realize that it probably seems to be beyond us. But then, what do you do when you walk into a store and you see something that you really want but you just can’t afford at this point? No problem, charge it! Put it on the credit card (especially if it’s your parent’s cc (or your husband’s etc.))!
