6 Adar, 5770 Vol. 11, No. 18 Parashas Terumah
The very same routine mitzvah that we feel lacks gusto and seems humdrum can often generate the spark that ignites a chain reaction of enthusiasm for Torah and mitzvos. Focusing on infrequent mitzvos, or on practices that have popular appeal, is not necessary. Instead, we must each attempt to unleash the power of the mitzvos that we are presently performing. This will infuse our lives with the exuberance and joy of rising each morning to greet a new day, appreciating the incredible privilege bestowed upon us, to serve the Creator of the universe with all our heart and soul.
