Dews of Holiness
"The dews of holiness are available to all sincere seekers. These are the dews of G-d's blessing which Yitzhak bequeaths to the descendants of Yaacov and Esav (Genesis, 27:28; 27:39). Yaacov enjoys a special Segula [Divine connection] which Esav does not share (Kuzari, 1:95), but the children of Esav are also to be blessed when they cast off their false idols and embrace the G-d of Israel alone. They too are to share in the blessing that flows down from Zion bringing life to the world (BaMidbar Rabbah, 8:9). 'Like the dew of Hermon which flows on the mountains of Zion; for there HaShem commanded the blessing, life for the whole world eternal' (Tehillim, 133:3)" (War and Peace, HaRav Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook, Commentary by Rabbi David Samson and Tzvi Fishman, p257-258). The dew forms quietly, settling within its place. It's there overnight, a completion of HaShem's work. Available to man, plants, and animals. It's the physical dew; but there is something more. His holiness comes down to us, settles on us, around us, and fills us inside. He is always working, always revealing, always sharing what we have yet to experience or understand. All, to make us aware of Him, and to draw us closer. Closer than we have been before. Touched at a new level. Reminding us how much we need Him all the time. In sharing this, I hope and pray it will allow each one reading, a greater awareness of what is available in this journey with HaShem. To go where one has not been before. To experience something far different than where one has walked before.
