In this short good-Shabbos message ahead of Parshas Devarim, Rabbi Silber shares a teaching on the Torah's opening words, Eileh HaDevarim. Torah, closeness to Hashem, and self-actualization aren't reserved for a spiritual elite, he explains — every single Jew has full access to that treasure. Especially in these days when we reflect on what's been lost, he urges us to notice and actively use what we still have: each other, kedusha, and the Torah itself.
Torah and closeness to Hashem are not reserved for a spiritual elite — every Jew has full access to them.
Even amid mourning for what's been lost, take time to recognize and celebrate the treasures still in your possession.
Spiritual growth isn't automatic — it takes conscious effort to utilize, celebrate, and actualize what's already yours.
We each have one another, kedusha, and Torah — a shared inheritance meant to be used, not just admired.
“Every Jew has access to the beautiful, spiritual treasure trove of Torah.”
