Awakening The Power Within | Rabbi Yoel Steinmetz

We're middle of the winter months. Every weekday we say tala. We ask Hashem give us tal, give us due, give us mut, give us rain. We understand why we ask to give mut to give rain. It represents sustenance, parasa. Everything we need to live life properly. Tal. What's the big deal about do? Why do we ask for do so much? Shami tells us that there's a special inherent power to do to tal he says originally was anes promised him I'm not just going to give Israel braha with rain I'm going to give them braha with tal with de and it says bashame isat that the idea of gishm of rain is when hashem just gives us he gives us and gives us gives us but nothing's coming from oursel we're just takers But tal just like dew when there's a little bit of moisture it awakens the inherent moisture that exists in the earth allowing it to grow. Hashem was telling us and telling a mavu I am going to give Clal Israel similar to the way I create do for the world. I'm going to wake them up. I'm going to make them realize their great energy their inherent moisture that's going to allow them to grow. Says she is. This is the power of shabas. It's a power of tal. Perhaps that's why this test because Hashem gives us an every week. Why? It goes away right afterwards. It leaves us. What's the point of getting it just for to have it taken away? Says, "It's in order to teach us this lesson to waken our inherent greatness that's inside of us the whole week. It wakes us up. It allows us to realize that we have it in us to become and to be great. That's our that just gets awakened with an isser every shabas. This shabas, let's find something in ourselves that's truly great. Let's not think of our nishamas as dormant or being cold, but during the winter months, allow the towel of chabas to waken up what's truly there. Whether it's through a special tila, a special niggan, a special story, a special devartora, allow us to waken up and Berm will be awake entirely. Have a chance.
