Perek 3


3:1-8
There are 28 “times” listed here, fourteen good times, fourteen bad times. Hashem guides the world with His two hands, the right hand symbolizing Chesed, the unbridled giving nature of Hashem, and the left hand symbolizing Gevurah, the need to set boundaries and limitations on the Chesed in order to make it usable.
A hand has fourteen joints which is why in Hebrew the word for hand is יד, which has the numericcal value of 14. It is for this reason that there are listed here fourteen times for good and fourteen for bad.

We learn from this section that there is a time for everything and you can't delay things or hurry them. If you push the timing it will push back. If there is no divine desire for something to come about at this time all the efforts will not bring it about.


3:22
A person should do things with joy and not with sadness and worry. Joy enables a person to connect to his spiritual self, whereas sadness created separation. Worry also comes from a wrong attitude. Who do you think you are that you should know the future and the results of your efforts?! Hashem does not want you to know in order that you should be able to exercise Free-Will.
