Imagine being told to get to the top of a forty-story building, using only the stairs. It’s an entirely possible feat – but one that requires much sweat, and probably some tears also. Now imagine just as you’ve climbed your first few flights (and are starting to huff and puff), you were suddenly handed an envelope. You curiously open it and inside is golden ticket – an elevator pass that takes you straight up to the top!
There are certain things that figuratively function as a spiritual “golden ticket,” things like saying or doing things are certain points during the year, or davening at the graves of tzaddikim. One tzaddik in particular sits atop a hill in Poland, with a story that has been passed down for generations: The story goes that this spiritual rabbi prepared his soul and prayed for a period of over 21 years intensely that his soul will always be present at his grave. He prayed that it will always be present to help, guide, and assist everyone and anyone who makes the effort to come there to pray.
Therefore, it is considered an extremely auspicious time and place to daven, and thousands of Jews flock to his grave year after year. This is Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, more commonly known by the title of his sefer, the Noam Elimelech. And this year you could be one of the Jews davening atop that hill, at his grave, on his yarhtzeit. This year, YOU could take advantage of this extremely potent spiritual time and place, and surge forward in your connection to Hashem, yourself, and others. This year, YOU can get your spiritual golden ticket – and use it!
