So What!
Jan 5th, 2012 by Rabbi Simcha Weinberg in Portion of the Week, Spiritual Growth
Many of the essays posted on The Foundation Stone have “Machberes Avodas Hashem” (The Service of God Notebooks) credited as the author. These essays are based on thoughts I’ve jotted down over the years to remember all the significant ideas I learn, hear, and read, and, what is more important, to figure out ways to incorporate into my Service of God in prayer, study, and work on my personal attributes, what I term, “Spiritual Tools,” many of which you can find as “Applications,” at the bottom of an essay.
One of my goals for The Foundation Stone is to introduce people to the idea of, “So What,” now that I have heard an idea; how can I use it.
If there is no practical lesson; it is not real Torah!
I recently posted a few essays on prayer based on the Parsha:
“Without a Battle.”
“Gathering the Joy.”
“Becoming Magnets.”
“Forgiveness.”
I hope to continue a series, “So What,” on The Foundation Stone, throughout this calendar year of applying the commentaries to the Torah to Prayer and Spiritual Growth. I hope you enjoy this series, and that you will learn to reify all that you learn.
You can find more on this idea in, “Spirituals 101,” and, “Mishlei-Insight and Application,” and, “Stopping the Leaks.”
Enjoy!

Another inherent lesson in this exercise is that one should always go deeper and deeper, higher and higher and not necessarily accept things at face value.
The only bad question is the one that goes unasked.
(On the other hand, sometimes the best question is the one that is intentionally left out.)
Good Shabbos from Tsfat – time to light!!
