Pop quiz for all you long time readers – what does it mean when we’re in the midst of a tough week?  Correct.  Opportunity!  The Light is giving us a great gift now, and as always, it comes wrapped in darkness. 

The intense heat we’re feeling this week is not because God is a school kid holding a magnifying glass over us ants, getting a kick out of our suffering.  Kabbalistically, this strong light is being shone on us to show us good things we don’t normally see.  About ourselves.  

All we need to do is check our nastiness at the door, tighten the vice on our tongues, and we can see things about ourselves these next few days that may have eluded us our entire lifetime(s.)
