The shiur introduces the themes surrounding the week of Netzach, which represents victory, dominance, stamina, and endurance. It emphasizes the importance of confidence, resilience, and being masterful in our actions. Netzach is also exemplified by the concept of falling and getting back up, being adaptable, and evolving with the times. Being as Netzach is the right leg, the week brings the need for action. We cannot think or meditate our way to action. As it says in recovery, “take an action, change a thought.”
Chesed Sheb’Netzach is taking the first step towards something we have been putting off, whether it’s a new endeavor or something we dropped along the way. The importance of self-love, self-worth, and forgiveness is emphasized, as well as the significance of focusing on victories and being kind to ourselves. Knowing the failures where good and something Hashem did for us, not to us, will give us the confidence to take action today.
