Does becoming observant and taking upon yourself a Torah life have to feel so heavy?

At times, it seems that upon entering the world of mitzvoth, one is immediately challenged with the heaviest and most difficult task at hand. Beginning to observe the Sabbath or keeping kosher isn't a piece of cake.

Could God have wanted it that way? Does it have to be that difficult?

In this week's Torah portion of Nasso, we learn the secret of how to carry this load of heavenly yoke, or shall we say, we learn the secret of how to be carried by it. 

Have a beautiful Shabbos Shlomo
