Connect My Efforts to Hashem
This week we learned that while Avraham and Yitzchak built our nation’s ideals through a life of deep thought and meditation, Yaakov and the Imahos built the nation through years of devoted effort. Their greatness was that whatever they did — whether thinking, working, or caring for others — was done with the intention of serving Hashem and building Klal Yisroel.
This week I will bli neder pause three times a day—even for ten seconds—to remind myself that whatever I’m doing, whether at work, at home, or for others, can be part of serving Hashem. I’ll think: “I want my efforts to help strengthen Klal Yisroel.” By attaching my daily activities to this purpose, I elevate even ordinary moments into meaningful avodah and ensure that the “wheel” I’m turning is truly connected to the Next World.
This week’s booklet is based on tapes: 471 - Gift of Speech 2 | 541 - Bringing Up Children VII | 764 - Building the Bais Yisroel
