On Erev Pesach, Jews around the world performed the mitzvah of the blessing of the sun, reciting the brocho "Oseh Maaseh Bereishis - Who makes the work of creation. As Rabbi Tennenbaum wrote in the Hamodia newspaper, the words "encapsulate our pure faith and immutable conviction that Hashem is the master of all creations. He and no other - not nature -not science - brought the world into being and He, with His infinite compassion, continues to maintain it, minute by minute, nanosecond by nanosecond."
For those of you who missed this news clip, it pays to watch, just to see the joy yidden experience when performing a mitzvah.
Haaretz reporter Gideon Levy recently wrote an article entitled "Purim games / Only the Haredim are really joyful". To read the full article, click here.
