The 12 Pesukim (Part Two)

וְהִנֵּה ה’ נִצָּב עָלָיו, וּמְלֹא כָל הָאָרֶץ כְּבוֹדוֹ, וּמַבִּיט עָלָיו וּבוֹחֵן כְּלָיוֹת וָלֵב אִם עוֹבְדוֹ כָּרָאוּי.

V’hinei Hashem nitzav alav, um’lo chol ha’aretz kvodo, umabit alav uvochen klayot valev im ovdo kara’uy.

“And behold, Hashem stands over him, and the whole earth is full of His glory, and He looks upon him and examines the reins and the heart to see if he is serving Him properly.”

(Tanya, Chapter 41)

Life takes on a whole new meaning when you realize you are never invisible and never alone.

Knowing that Hashem stands over you is not about fear, but about deep love, attention, and royal purpose. The King of the entire universe is personally invested in your thoughts, your intentions, and your daily actions. He created a vast and beautiful world, yet He turns His focused care directly toward you, cherishing every sincere step you take to serve Him with an open heart.

Carry yourself like royalty today, serve with joy and pure intentions, and feel the empowering presence of Hashem right by your side.

כִּי קָרוֹב אֵלֶיךָ הַדָּבָר מְאֹד בְּפִיךָ וּבִלְבָבְךָ לַעֲשֹׂתוֹ.

Ki karov eilecha hadavar me’od, b’ficha uvillvavcha la’asoto.

“For this thing is very close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.”

(Devarim 30:14)

There are moments when making a positive change feels overwhelming, or when feeling close to Hashem seems like an impossible climb.

The eternal truth of “”כי קרוב אליך”” reminds us that connection is never out of reach. You do not need to cross oceans or climb mountains to find purpose and holiness. It lives right within your own words, your own heart, and your everyday actions. No matter where you find yourself, Hashem is right there with you, believing in your strength and meeting you with boundless love.

Take that first small step with confidence, trust the spark inside you, and remember that closeness is always within your grasp.”

כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵשׁ לָהֶם חֵלֶק לְעוֹלָם הַבָּא, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וְעַמֵּךְ כֻּלָּם צַדִּיקִים לְעוֹלָם יִירְשׁוּ אָרֶץ, נֵצֶר מַטָּעַי מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי לְהִתְפָּאֵר.

Kol Yisrael yesh lahem chelek l’olam haba, shene’emar: v’ameich kulam tzaddikim l’olam yirshu aretz, neitzer mata’ai ma’asei yadai l’hitpa’er.

“Every Jew has a share in the world-to-come, as it states, “And your people are all tzadikim, they shall inherit the land forever. They are the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, in which I take great pride.”

(Sanhedrin 90a)

It is easy to wonder if our daily efforts truly matter in the grand scheme of things.

The timeless words “”ועמך כולם צדיקים… מעשה ידי להתפאר”” carry a reassuring truth: what you do is a big deal to Hashem. Just like a master craftsman takes pride in the work of their hands, Hashem cherishes your choices, your growth, and your journey. Every positive action counts, and your potential is limitless.

Walk through life with genuine pride in who you are, keep gratitude in your heart, and remember how deeply valued you are. The future is bright, and you are creating something meaningful every single day.”
