Rabbi's Blanchard's Parsha Reflection

“Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me."

Sometimes, as we experience the cosmos, we are awestruck. For moderns, it is often the above classic quote from Immanuel Kant that expresses the source of this feeling. I think we have somewhat the same dichotomy in some traditional Jewish sources. On the one hand, the created order of nature and the miracles that reveal a God who is greater than nature. On the other, the moral order and the God who institutes and, at the limit, enforces it.  Although we are not very clear on the relationship between the moral and natural orders, our experience  of their compelling power is often the source of a spiritual consciousness.  As I study these sources, I too find my mind filled with ever new and increasing admiration and awe.
