This Day, the Lord Your God Commands You"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>September 1978<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis day, the Lord your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances, and you shall keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.\u201d RASHI interprets, each day they will be as new in your eyes, as if you were commanded them that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should understand how one can make them be as new, as though he were commanded them that day, for it has been sworn and standing since Mt. Sinai. To understand this, we first need to know the rule that everything is measured by the greatness of the one who commands. That is, according to the greatness and importance of the giver of the Torah, so is the greatness of the Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, each day when one takes upon himself the kingdom of heaven, according to the measure of the faith in Him, the merit of the Torah increases. Therefore, according to what a person attains in the greatness of the Creator, so the Torah is renewed in him. It therefore follows that each time, he has a new Torah, meaning that each time he has a different Giver. Then, naturally, the Torah that extends from Him is regarded as a new Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this was said about the Torah in relation to the names of the Creator, meaning in relation to \u201cThe Torah, Israel, and the Creator are one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is, when Israel attains the greatness of the Creator each day, according to his faith, to that extent the Torah grows within him. At that time, he becomes a different Israel because in spirituality, everything that has a different form is a new quality. Hence, if a person receives greater faith each day then the Torah is regarded as new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cas if you were commanded them that day,\u201d since each day he has a different&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>&nbsp;[commandment]. Thus, \u201cas if you were commanded them that day\u201d means that on the day when a person takes upon himself the kingdom of heaven more intensely, he has a new&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>, a new Torah, and a new Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 1978 \u201cThis day, the Lord your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances, and you shall keep [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[26],"class_list":["post-12563","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 468.
