Pichas: Dividing The Land: A lesson in finding one’s true purpose
Every Jewish man and woman has both a general purpose and individual purpose for living. The general purpose is the same for everyone: We are all meant to study Torah and perform mitzvoth, and thereby transform the world for the good by bringing a new level and intensity of G-dly light into the world. But each of us also has a unique individual purpose that we share with no one else. How then do we discover exactly what our unique personal reason for being is? In this week’s class we will examine the process of dividing the Land of Israel among the twelve tribes that is described in this week’s parsha. We will focus on the strange role of the lottery, the seemingly random process by means of which much of the Land was divided. We will show how the similarly random personal “lot” that has been assigned to us from Heaven replicates the lottery in the desert. By knowing how to identify what has been assigned to us, we can then come to understand why it has been so assigned. We will then know how to fulfill the personal purpose that is directly related to the specific portion that HaShem has allotted to us.
