Thought for Today: Shabbat April 19

Have you ever asked yourself why YHVH takes anger so seriously and urges us to cast it out of our lives? It is because of what it does to other people. When we lash out at someone in anger, we hurt them and create conflict, and that is wrong. It also hurts us. It cuts us off from others and most of all it cuts us off from our Moshiach. Anger makes us preoccupied with our own problems rather than with YHVH’s will for our lives.
