Question
Do you see any significance to the beeper explosions in Lebanon happening just before the Jewish New Year?
Answer
The kabbalists teach that our reality comprises two sides. There is the side of good, and the side of evil. These two are mirror images of each other. Whatever you find on the unholy side, you can find its equal and opposite on the holy side.
This past Tuesday, terrorists from Hezbollah (“The Party of G-d”) received messages on their beepers, seemingly a call from their leadership. As they looked at the message, the beepers exploded. With uncanny precision, thousands of terrorists were put out of action as they went about their daily business.
If this event occurred on the dark side of reality, it must have an equal and opposite version on the side of light. Maybe it is this.
The true party of G-d is the Jewish people, chosen by G-d to fulfil a special mission. As party members we each have a beeper, a Jewish soul that can receive messages from our Leader. On Rosh Hashanah, a loud alert is sent out to every Jewish soul, the Shofar sound, calling us to attention. For anyone else it sounds like the strange blast of a ram’s horn. But for we who
have the receiver, its reverberating call wakes us up and stirs us to spiritually come alive. We hear the call. And it changes us for life.
The earth shattering events of the last year are one big Shofar blast, calling on all of us to wake up and get real. The two sides of reality, the good and the bad, are becoming more and more defined. We need to be on the right side and increase goodness in the world. Light must win, and it will. Hezbollah got the message. So must we.
