Beha'alotcha: In The Beginning, It May Not Taste So Sweet

We live in a world of instant gratification, but does real spiritual growth happen overnight?

Rav Shlomo Katz explores the lighting of the Menorah through the lens of the Beis Avraham of Slonim. We learn that the seven branches represent the seven emotional attributes (Middot), and the work of refining them is often heavy and tasteless at the beginning. Rav Shlomo explains that Aharon HaKohen did not look for "shortcuts" (Gedolot), but worked step-by-step to build a foundation.

This episode challenges the social media mindset of needing to feel "high" instantly, teaching us that the sweetness of the "Yoke of Heaven" only comes after we are willing to carry the burden without tasting the reward.
