Parsha Mishpatim Chasidic Torah thought from Lubavitcher Rebbe by: Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to this week's Torah lesson. This week's Torah portion is parasim. The question of the week is where do we find strength to serve God from a place of acceptance. So in this week's Torah portion begins, these are the laws that you shall put in front of them when you acquire a a Hebrew sla slave. So as a question, why is the first law about a Hebrew slave? It's something which it's not even a a a normal thing that happens. And the Reb explains because we're dealing with our spiritual service to God. And what does that mean? Every one of us, we have different ways we serve God. There are times we're excited, we're inspired, we study, we pray, we're ready to do whatever Hashem wants us to do. But sometimes we're not ready. So sometimes we have to be an evid is somebody that serves God with soil and I accept I'm ready to do it. I'm totally nullified. Whatever hashem want I'm ready to do it. And that's why that's the first mitzvah. But the question is where do we have the power to do so? So the answer is it says Hashem instructs to give us the mitzvah because we know is comes from is drawn from the water. He comes from a very very high level andu gives us the power that we can do so. And that's why he says kickna. What does kickna mean? When you acquire something. When you acquire something means the same thing existed somewhere else and you're just transferring ownership to a different place. In other words, to accept, you don't have to do anything new. You just got to reveal the power that you have. So the answer the question where do we have the power to accept? We have it. Moshraenu gives us direction and the inspiration to go deep within and just go ahead and accept something that we already know is the right thing to do to pray and study and do mitzvot.
