DVAR TORAH

         

 

Act with speed even when you have to do something that is unpleasant for you.

"AND AVRAHAM ROSE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND TOOK BREAD, AND A BOTTLE OF WATER, AND GAVE IT TO HAGAR, PUTTING IT ON HER SHOULDER, AND THE CHILD, AND SENT HER AWAY." (Braishis 21:14)

     Here the Torah tells us that Avraham woke up early in the morning to fulfill the will of the Almighty even though this was really against his own wishes. He personally would have wanted Hagar and Yishmael to stay. However, Hashem agreed with Sarah that Yishmael would be a negative influence on Yitzchok and therefore had to be sent away. Avraham quickly took action to fulfill the wishes of the Almighty. Sending away Yishmael was the exact opposite behavior that would have been consistent with Avraham's attribute of loving-kindness.

     Even though Avraham needed to act against his natural tendencies, he woke up early to carry out the command of the Almighty. He could have easily procrastinated and pushed off this most painful of actions. But Avraham's main goal in life was to carry out the will of the Almighty. Therefore, his focus was not on whether he personally enjoyed what he did, but on doing what was right in the Almighty's eyes. This self-discipline allowed him to do all he could for his guests and wait on them even when he was ill.

     Whether we feel like doing something should not be our major criterion. Rather, ask yourself, "What is the proper thing to do right now?" Once something is proper to do, act with an enthusiasm that comes from an inner acceptance of the importance of doing the right thing. One may wake up in the morning and he may not feel like putting on Tefillin, honoring his/her parents, acting respectfully with a spouse, keeping Kosher or observing Shabbos. The message that Avraham our forefather is teaching us is that we should follow the 613 commandments whether we are in the mood or not. Perform the commandments because it's not some powerless person telling us to perform these commandments, it's the creator of the world who has at his deposal our health, our wealth and our relationships. Remember Avraham, he didn't want to send away Yismael he did it because Hashem wanted him to.

Have a Shabbat Shalom!
