A Moment in Time: On Being Thankful …

[additional-authors]
November 22, 2016

Dear all,

Like many of you, Ron and I (and yes … Daisy) lead very busy lives.  It's often a challenge to find ourselves at home, all three of us, when the sun is still out.

But despite the challenge, we create the time and space for it, not leaving it to chance.

It's these precious moments during which we realize just how thankful we are:

Thankful for one another.
Thankful that we have a house with a roof and walls.
Thankful that we are free.
Thankful that we can help others in need.
Thankful for our family, friends, and community.
Thankful that we are alive!

As our country celebrates this day of Thanksgiving, we all have the opportunity to take a moment in time to pause and offer gratitude.  We wish you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving weekend!

With love and shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
