A Moment in Time: If you had ONE call to make….

[additional-authors]
September 14, 2016

Dear all,

Last weekend, as we remembered the horror of September 11, I recalled a conversation with my friend and mentor, Buddy Jolton. 

He once shared the following wisdom with me:


If you had one call to make:

     1) Who would you call?
     2) What would you say?
     3) And what are you waiting for?

I think of those people in the Twin Towers and on the planes.  I think of their final phone calls.

I also think about the Holy Days in Judaism – a time when we take stock of our lives.  We never know, we NEVER know, what tomorrow will bring.  And so, these questions become central. 

A moment in time to make that call can transform our lives.


With love and shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
