The Whole World is a Very Noisy Fridge

Today we have x-ray, radar, satellites, infrared photography, ultrasound imaging, gamma-ray telescopes and CCTV, and yet we still have found no trace of G-d. If he is supposed to be everywhere, why is he nowhere to be seen? My logic says, if you are nowhere, you don't exist...   Answer:   Being everywhere doesn't make you easy to find. On the contrary, logic says if you are everywhere, it's as if you're nowhere. A bit like our fridge.   As our family grew we needed more fridge space, so we bought an old fridge online. It was a bargain. We soon found out why. After we plugged it in it started humming quite loudly. At first we thought we couldn't live with this constant, monotonous buzz coming from the kitchen. But in a day or two we didn't even notice it anymore.   You can only hear a noise if that noise sometimes goes silent. But if it's always there, it's like its not there at all. Ask our kids what that buzzing noise is coming from the fridge, and they wouldn't even know what you are talking about. When you live with a noisy fridge, buzzing is silence.   It's the same with G-d. We live in a reality where the buzz of G-d is everywhere. There is no place devoid of Him, no moment when He is absent. So of course we can't detect Him. You can only detect the presence of something if you can detect its absence. The very definition of finding something is knowing where it is, but for that you have to know where it isn't. As the Baal Shem Tov taught, G-d is all and all is G-d. There is nowhere that he isn't. So we never see Him, because we are always looking right at Him.   This leads to an interesting conclusion. It's not that you can't see G-d. You actually can't miss Him. It just depends how you are looking.  Put down your telescope and look at your life. You'll see He's been right there all along.   Good Shabbos, Rabbi Moss  To subscribe CLICK HERE or email rabbimoss@nefesh.com.au  AUDIO CLASS: Were the Spies Righteous or Wicked?  The Chasam Sofer, the Arizal, the Zohar, the Shem Mishmuel and the Rebbe find the positive side to the story CLICK HERE TO BOOK ONLINE NOW SHABBOS SERVICES TIMES AND COMMUNITY INFO  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Friday, 16 June, 2017 | 22 Sivan 5777 Candle Lighting...................... 4:35pm   Mincha................................. 4:45pm Making Sense of the Siddur (a class with Rabbi Moss)........ 5:30-6:00pm Friday Evening Service............ 6:00pm Kiddush sponsored by Eli, Taryn & Larnce Gold in honour of the yohrzeit of their late father and grandfather, David Goldbaum (David ben Baruch) on 22 Sivan- Long Life.   Shabbos, 17 June, 2017 | 23 Sivan 5777 In depth Parsha Class............... 9:00am Children's program.................. 10:45am Shabbos Morning Service ........ 10:00am- 12:20pm  Communal Lunch sponsored by Jerome and David Stern in honour of the yohrzeit their mother Gerda Stern (Yehudit bat Mordechai)- Long Life.   L'Chaim sponsored by Vitali Broyda in honour of the yohrzeit of his grandfather Pinches ben Lipa on 18 Sivan- Long Life.   Mincha with Pirkei Ovos Ch 3 followed by Seudah Shlishis ....................   4:30pm Gematria and story by Rev Amzalak............. 4:55pm Shiur with Rabbi Moss............................... 5:15pm Shabbos ends and Maariv.......................... 5:34pm Followed by Havdalah   WEEKDAY SHACHARIS SERVICES Sunday ........................... 8:00am Mon - Fri.......................... 7:00am Latest Shema this week...... 9:25am   MAZAL TOV TO Brian & Tanya Poggo on the birth of twin girls, Chava Baila and Maya Razel!
