Rabbi Yaakov Musheyev - Paraashat Naso

so the question is why don't miracles happen today like they used to uh I mean it was so nice back in the day when you would see the hand of Hashem involved in our lives it must have been so much easier to believe in him and uh why don't we have Miracles tonight so the answer to that question the most simple answer is we do have Miracles today happen all around us we just don't pay attention to them or we mistranslate them as nature one of the examples that Shaffer uses is the wars of Israel you look at the wars of Israel and you see Miracle after Miracle or after War um several well-trained Arab armies against one Jewish one and somehow we win in 1948 then again 1967 1973 and so on and so forth and it is proven that it's miraculous um because as Robert Schaefer brings down a story they they don't use the Israeli Wars in American think tanks in order to study them because they say it's it's above nature that we can't learn anything from them and the question of why don't they happen more often like they used to is answered through the concept of Nazir because in Nazir sees a Sota and and what happens to her is miraculous it's negative it's sad but it's miraculous and he sees the miracle and he gets the inspiration and what he did was he turned that inspiration into action immediately by us regular people who would witness a miracle we would be oh and we'd be inspired we would be we would right away swear to serve Hashem only and yet maybe the next day maybe a week later maybe a year later we'd go back to our regular lives and the reason is because we don't take that inspiration and turn into action right away that's what we need to do we need to take the inspiration and turn into action right away because that's the only way to keep inspiration so today let's say you don't see America but you see an inspirational video you take the inspiration and turn into action right away you hear an inspirational story or a story to say wow I can't believe that happened take the inspiration immediately and do an act that'll ensure that you don't end up there um so we're taking the example of this week's Parsha and Parsha Vaso regarding a Nazir that sees this and he tells himself I'm not going to let this inspiration slip away I'm going to take it and make it into action I'm going to not stay style my hair so much I'm going to stay away from wine and and basically long story short he turns it into action it's only 30 Days by the way it's not like a whole lifetime a majority of the nuzzers were only 30 days and you you might think 30 days is a small commitment the answer is no it's not because even a small commitment of action can really concretize uh inspiration happy shamat Shalom everyone
