Torah portion is Pontius quise say the
question of the week is how can you
avoid having any challenges in your life
so in this week's Torah portion Pontius
quise say the Torah portion begins quise
se llama humma when you go out to wage
war so the market of message was a
student of the Baal Shem Tov asked us a
very simple question the Torah says when
you go out to war well obviously you're
going out to war you don't stay home and
have war in your house enemies usually
outside so he explains Kabbalistic Lee
the verse from a very very profound way
and he says a Jew was created in a way
that he has to always be occupied and
busy the choice you have is what are you
going to be busy with in other words if
a person is busy doing X he will not
have to be busy doing why but if you're
not busy doing anything you'll end up
being busy doing something you might
never want to wanted to pick so he
explained as follows quise say when a
person goes out from doing what he's
supposed to in other words what's our
job to be connected to God whether it's
through prayer through Torah study
through doing midst vote or whatever
we're doing in our lives we're doing it
because God instruct us to do so so our
whole motive is to serve God even when
you're sleeping and you're eating y'all
so serving nada you taking care of the
kids are you going for a walk you're
also serving God so as long as your
motive your focus on life is that you're
serving out always then you'll have a
beautiful life because there's no room
for anything else but quise say when you
go out from that focus of serving God
that automatically you will be open in
la Mahama to war and then you will have
challenges in your life so the answer
the question how can you avoid
challenges in your life simple be
focused on committing your life to
having a godly life whether it's true
actively praying or study
tura doing MIT's vote or whatever you're
doing whether it's sleeping eating going
for a walk going out to the park do it
because you're serving God by whatever
you're doing and as long as you focus on
that you will not have to deal with any
challenges in life this week's Torah
