Peace Prize

NYT–The choice of Barack Obama on Friday as the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, less than nine months into his eventful presidency, was an unexpected honor that elicited praise and puzzlement around the globe.

The Cabala describes two types of light called Mali/Filling and Sovev/Surrounding; the light that fills is felt and seen, but the light that surrounds has a effect from afar–it is the surrounding light which gives us hope.

People criticize the choice of President Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize because he has yet to do anything but promise hope; they do not recognize the great light this man has brought into the world by ascending to the presidency of America–when the promise of hope became a reality.

As we enter the decade of 70 in the Hebrew calendar denoted by the letter Ayin/Eye with the gematria of the year 5770 that of The House of Moshiach can be understood that the human being, the Hebrew calendar begins from the first human being on planet earth, that each of the 6 billion human beings has become vessel for Moshiach. The Talmud-Book of Law notes that God will dwell within each of them–the Cabala adds in each person.

Some are seeing the new light while other must adjust their vision. God bless our president.
