Our Purpose

Please excuse our leave of absence.  With Hashem's help we will get back on track.

What is our purpose in this world? 

David Hamelech in Tehillim stated, "Closeness to Hashem is my good."  What does that mean? That the best thing David had was being close to Hashem, Devaikus, clinging to Hashem.

David lived his whole life clinging to Hashem and that for him was the best thing in the entire world.  He had every single reason to complain to Hashem. David never had a moments rest, he was always running for his life, someone was always trying to kill him.  He had every reason in the world to complain, yet  in Tehillim many perakim begin with "Hodu LaShem Kitov," praise to Hashem for He is good, praising Hashem.  David Hamelech was on such a level of closeness to Hashem that even while running for his life, running to stay alive because he was literally being hunted down, he was able to praise Hashem.

How was David Hamelech able to do this?

Because David always was Daveik to Hashem, he always held onto Hashem.  By clinging to Hashem, David was able to see the good in his extremely difficult life.

So what is our purpose in this world? 

Our purpose in life is to cling to Hashem. To gain that purpose takes time and effort, it is a relationship that just like any other that can't be built in a day.  It is a bond worth investing time into. Being close with Hashem is like being best friends with the king, he has connections into everything you need and even more since Hashem is the king of all kings. Wouldn't you want that connection?

Here is our Quote of the week, it's not just any quote, it's something that is very deep and amazing, enjoy!
