Parshat Va'Etchanan In Memory of Shimshon Ben Shalom

The Holy Ohr HaChaim says that if one examines this verse, it would seem clear that the word 'Your God' is an extra word in this verse. The verse should have just said 'While you who held fast to HaShem, are all alive today'

To preface, there is what to say based on the words of the Holy Baal Shem Tov, may his merit rest upon us, based on the following teaching from the Talmud -

And on this teaching, Rashi explains the intent of the blessing below.

Our question is regarding what does it mean 'your world', implying its literarily your world, does the world and its glory belong to HaShem? It should have said, 'This world you will see in your life", and then another question is on Rashi who says this blessing means all your needs will be met.. how can we infer and understand Rashi's interpretation from the teaching itself?

And the explanation is as follows. Prior to a human descending down to this world, all of his needs are preprepared for him, in order that his/her heart can be dedicated towards the service of HaShem with tranquility of the mind and zero lackings/worry. Rather, sin that we commit ends up blocking this channel of this good bounty thats been stored up for us and it never reaches you. And after ones death, they get to see all the goodness that had been stored up and destined for them in the physical world if only he/she had served HaShem with a whole heart. And through your sins, it was you yourself that had ruined the channel of bounty and goodness that was stored up for you and created blockages.

However, someone who serves HaShem with a whole heart, gets to see in this world what was prepared for him for his lifetime on Earth. And this is the meaning of what the Rabbis said, 'You shall see your world in your life', which Rashi had said it means, 'All your needs', which means your world, which was already prepared for you prior to your birth you will see in your life, which is referring to this world, and it wont be blocked from reaching you through your sins, G-D forbid. Until here are his words.

And based on his words we can explain the below teaching from the sages of Israel -

And on this teaching our sages have established a strong question, if there is a man that works hard with his hands, but does not fear the Heavens, how is it possible to suggest and say that he is greater than a man who is G-D fearing?! And if you are a G-D fearing person, why are we measuring your greatness together with how much you enjoy the fruits of your labor? Isn't the main purpose of life the fear/awareness? As we see below -

And based on the words of the Holy Baal Shem Tov we can fully understand the matter. That when it says the fruit of the labor of his hands, it means to say that he enjoys the goodness of the world that comes to his hands (And the word for arriving to him (Yagea) does not mean to arrive, rather to fall upon him). As behold, it is from the bounty that was prepared for him prior to his arrival to this world, and he never stuffed and damaged his channels due to his sins. A person of this caliber is on a higher level that a regular person who simply fears G-D who never reached such a level, which is why we teach the enjoyment is more to a man who enjoys what comes to his hands, more than just a G-D fearing person.

And this is what King David, may he be loved by Heaven was saying in Pslams -

And based on this our Sages teach -

On this let us investigate.. One can understand it being good for you in the world to come, as you don't have to worry about sustenance then, rather you will be enjoying the fruits of your labors in the world to come. But how can we say that a man is praiseworthy in this world on a person that is tired and worn out from all the hard work in order that he enjoy the fruits of his labor. But based on what we said above it can make sense, that the intention fruit of your labors comes from the wording of something arriving to you, as we explained before. That this person is worthy to enjoy what was prepared for him, as he never ruined that channel due to sin, and on this it makes sense to say this person is fortunate in this world, since he never clogged his piping from above, and he has all that he needs, and only goodness and kindness rest upon him.

And behold it is known that the main worship of the people of Israel is to know HaShem in all of our ways. As it says -

And from this we learn that even someone who has to be involved in this mundane world, must do it for the sake of heaven, to due the will of his maker, may His name be blessed. And as we see below in the Rambam -

And on this we can explain the verse -"while you, who held fast to your God יהוה, are all alive today.", as we know the words of our ancient ones, that the word HeTeva (the natural world) has the same numerical value as Elohim (G-D), and the verse is coming to hint to us that even when one is steeped in the mundane world, the natural world, one can still be attached to HaShem, as his intentions are to do things for the sake of Heaven. And when one acts this way, his pipe from above that has everything prepared for him, will not be blocked or have any separating partitions, then only will that person be worthy of being alive 'today' which means that even in this world, he/she will have all goodness from that which was stored for you prior to your departure to this world, and this is correct, with the help of the Heavens.
