The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is א/ Aleph. It makes no sound. Yet it
creates the space for the letters that follow.
How do we create space in our lives?
Do we remember to breath?
Are we mindful of nurturing down time?
Does keeping quiet often make us nervous?
Do we ever regret saying something when we should have kept our mouths shut?
(And are we ever silent when we should be speaking out?)
Yes, we fill our lives with noise. But every once in a while, we need to observe a moment in time to just be silent.
With love and Shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
