Millions of Americans will celebrate Labor Day; according to the United States Department of Labor, the day represents: a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well being of our country.
Avadoh/Work in Hebrew also refers to the spiritual obligations the souls performs – this is the true work whose produce exist in the spiritual world; after a lifetime, the soul releases from the body and enters into the spirit realm where the ramifications of action adorn the abode.
The human being has a need to work and feel productive for the self and for the community; without work life has little purpose – the Torah teaches, If one does not work one can not rest. Though creation to the Creator is a little thing, nonetheless God worked to make creation, then God rested.
Work in modern time, is what use to be called slavery in the ancient day when everyone was free except those who had to sell themselves into servitude to a master because of their situation. Now, nearly everyone is in a situation serving a master who is the slave to a boss, who is slave to a boss.
The subjugation of self towards a meaningful goal is what hollows out the human being to be a vessel for the Creator. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says, God made a work for each person to love. The Cabala explains, From the constancy of work comes the power of Eumuna/Faith; an Eumun is a Craftsman.
