Parsha Behar - Bechukotai Chasidic Torah thought from Lubavitcher Rebbe by: Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to this week's Torah lesson. This week is paras and the question of the week is what is the spiritual healing process. So in this week we have a double Torah portion. We have the Torah where the prophet says heal mem and I'll be healed. So the question is asked what's this? The double healing. So the Reb explains and he says that before this what does the verse say that we forsook the source of the living waters. What does the idea of the living waters? That living waters is when we're connected to Hashem by learning to and doing mitzvah. When a person learns to you connect to Hashem the living waters when you do a mitzvah you're connected to the to Hashem through the mitzvah. When you're disconnected, when you're not learning to you're not doing mitzv now you need a healing. So comes along the prophet and says what does that mean? Normally you heal yourself. How do you heal? By staying connected to the living waters. By learning Torah and doing mitzv what happens sadly when you disconnect from the source. You're not learning Torah. You're not doing mitzvo. Then you have to turn to Hashem and you say to Hashem for any Hashem, Hashem, you have to heal me because I need help. I'm not connected. I got disconnected. And once Hashem connects you, then you can go ahead and do your process of learning Torah and doing mitzvah. So the answer to the question, what is spiritual healing? So standard spiritual healing is learning Torah and doing mitzvah. But sadly when a person is so sick where you're disconnected from Hashem then you have to first pray to Hashem that Hashem should send the healing that we should be inspired to learn to do mitzvo and then we continue learning and that finishes off the healing. Thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson. This week's Torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of may the souls be elevated by the Torah we're studying in the memory.
