[1] Unfinished mitzvah will cost you dearly #Torah #shorts

Many of us start a project or a mitzvah with great enthusiasm, only to lose momentum halfway through. We tell ourselves that doing even a small portion is sufficient, but the wisdom of our Chazal teaches us a different reality. Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner explores the critical importance of completing the mitzvah once you have begun, examining the profound spiritual consequences of leaving a holy act unfinished. Using the narrative of Yehuda from Parashas Vayeishev, Rabbi Lerner illustrates this principle through the lens of the sale of Yosef. While Yehuda initiated an act to save his brother from death, he stopped short of taking the full responsibility to return him safely to Yaakov Avinu. By failing to exert every possible resource to see the matter through, Yehuda faced a spiritual demotion, as highlighted in the Talmud. This lesson serves as a powerful reminder that our intentions must be followed by persistent action. When we undertake a mitzvah, we are called to bring it to its successful conclusion with all our might. If Hashem decrees that a task remains unfinished despite our utmost efforts, it is clear, but we must never voluntarily abandon a path of holiness once we have stepped onto it.
