I am very excited for the opportunity to share words of Torah with you. Each week, in this spot, I look to share an idea I've found that speaks to me and that I think will resonate with you as well. This week, I share with you a selection from an article by Rabbi Jared Viders entitled "Second Thoughts and the Pitfalls of Confusion" emphasizing the imporance of clarifying and thinking things through.
[...] Rashi ([in our Parsha] and elsewhere in Chumash) identifies our Nation's pre-golden calf state of mind as one of irbuviya - literally, confusion. Taking it one step further, the Alter from Kelm postulates that this very confusion is the common-denominator (or culprit as it may be) shared by many of our Nation's most regrettable episodes - i.e., the golden calf, our response to the spies reconnaissance mission, etc.). The message is clear - action emerging from confusion and a lack of clarity is rarely a recipe for success. To the contrary, those are usually the decisions we wish we could have back. [...]
Life is essentially a career of decision-making. Some are macro, grandiose "life-decisions" and others are picayune and not worth churning over. We fret over many of them. We hem-and-haw. We drag our feet. We deliberate. We contemplate. We seek advice of objective, sage counsel. The ones we regret the most are usually those that were the least-grounded and the by-product of circumstances not conducive to rational, deliberate analyses.
Years ago, I approached my Rabbi about a certain employment opportunity. "Do you think I should take this job?" "You have to take this job," he responded. "Can I sleep on it?" I responded sheepishly. "Always sleep on it." Priceless words from one who has stood in the trenches with many a decision-maker.
May we merit the self-knowledge to discern whether or not our decision-making processes are sound and may Hashem provide the wisdom and guidance to illuminate our lives with choices free and clear from the deleterious effects of irbuviya, confusion. Hoping and praying for a Shabbat Shalom in every sense of the term, Rabbi Davies Rabbi@SOICherryHill.org
