Dear all,
Earlier this week as we celebrated Simchat Torah, we unscrolled the parchment and placed ourselves around the sanctuary, surrounding our kindergarten class within the text of our people. It felt like a group hug!
I looked around the room, and it really made me think…
What do we surround ourselves with each day? Who are the people? What are the hobbies? How is the time used? Where do we walk to? Do we immerse ourselves in positive thinking?
It's important to take a moment in time each morning to be purposeful in how we want to bring meaning to the day. Like Torah, our day should not constrict or constrain us. Rather, each day should anchor us, embrace us, and enable us to dream!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
