We live in a time when we are surrounded by the pervasive secular culture. The foreign ideals of the nations of the world threaten to infiltrate into our lives and overtake the pure Emunah that we have inherited from our forefathers, chalilah. Still, we must gain inspiration from Avraham Avinu, the first of the Avos Hakedoshim, to seek out the Truth and cling to it with all our might, not letting ourselves be influenced by the seemingly dazzling enticements the modern world has to offer. We should proudly declare to our oppressors and the world at large the Truth as it is and continue in the ways of our forefathers with pride and joy.
Finally, when faced with challenges in our Avodas Hashem, we must strengthen ourselves in the knowledge that, although it seems bleak and we are unsure how to proceed, ultimately that in itself could be our Divine mission at this moment.
May we merit to follow in ways of our forefathers, and recognise the infinite power of Hashem and His unfathomable wisdom, thus continue growing in our Emunah. Let us continue growing in our Avodas Hashem, and cling to Him despite the current environment, until the day will come when the world will finally be illuminated with the light of Hashem as the Navi says וְהָיָה לְךָ ה' לְאוֹר עוֹלָם (ישעי' ס יט).
