DVAR TORAH

    

You can be successful even if you have less than others.

"THESE ARE THE CHILDREN OF DAN ACCORDING TO THEIR FAMILIES... SIXTY-FOUR THOUSAND AND FOUR HUNDRED." (Bamidbar 26:42,43)

     The Chofetz Chayim noted that the total population of the tribe of Binyamin was forty-five thousand and six hundred. Dan's population was sixty-four thousand and four hundred. What is so remarkable about this is that Binyamin, the patriarch of the tribe of Binyamin, had ten sons, while his brother Dan had only one son, Chushim. What is even more remarkable is that Chushim was handicapped; he was deaf. Although Dan had only one son and Binyamin had ten, Dan had more descendants than Binyamin.

      From here we can learn, said the Chofetz Chayim that if the Almighty wants a person to be successful, he will succeed even if it appears at first that he has less than someone else. It is possible that from one son a person can have more than from ten sons. Similarly, as regards wealth and possessions. There are some people with only a limited amount of money and possessions but they feel happy with what they have and live very cheerful lives. On the opposite side, there are wealthy people who lack true success in life even though they own a lot.

     Some people see that others have more than they do, and they feel so bad about this that they fail to enjoy what they themselves have. This envy is a mistake. You can live a very joyous life even if you appear to have less than others. Pray for the Almighty's blessing with what you have. Quantity is not always a valid measurement for success in life. The person who masters taking pleasure with what he has is guaranteed a life of happiness.

Have a good Shabbos from Rabbi Perelson.
