Have
you picked up your Jewish Jedi Lightsaber this week?
Have
you connected to the Force/HaShem/G-d, lately?
After
40 days of Teshuva/soul-searching, righting wrongs and cleaning out
your shadows, culminating in a 25 Hr. fast to eliminate the dark side
from yourself, you are now ready to become a Jewish Jedi Warrior.
Jew,
Yehudi, Jehudi, Jedi… Get it?
When
morning comes, and dawn breaks, focus that outer and inner light.
Pick up your Jewish Jedi Lightsaber/Lulav & Etrog. Time to go to
Jedi training school, either Beit Midrash or Beit Knesset, Yeshiva or
Synagogue, to meditate/daven/pray, go deep into yourself, your soul,
and connect to the Force/HaShem.
When
its time to sing Songs of Praise to the Force/Hallel; pick up that
Lightsaber and externalize the Light you’ve been focusing; by
making a Bracha/mindful focused affirmation of intention.
Waving
your Lulav/Lightsaber in six directions,
back/forth/up/down/right/left (every warrior must connect with his
own inner path), you create a holy space/hyper-cube, with you at the
center, in Devekut/blissfully focused, cleaving to HaShem/the Force
of all Good in the universe.
With
all your effort, you’re now ready to do the Dance of the Jewish
Jedi Warrior.
During
the Hoshana Songs, the doors of the House of the Holy Scroll/the Aron
HaKodesh, are opened up. Revealing the Scroll of Truth/the Holy
Torah. Time to praise and connect to the Force, while
marching/dancing around the central reading table. This enables you
to further bring down, connect to, focus, and externalize the Light
of the Force.
His
Light, becomes your light. His Light pulses through you, your Lulav,
and out into the street, your neighborhood, community, and the world.
And, when you leave Jedi training school for the day, you’re
re-energized and re-JEW-venated to bring HaShem’s Light and Love,
His Goodness, Blessing, and Joy, to all whom you meet.
Have
you picked up your Jewish Jedi Lightsaber this Sukkot?
