A Moment in Time: Small Windows can lead to Incredible Places

[additional-authors]
December 7, 2016

Dear all,

Every once in a while, I ask members of Temple Akiba to point out their favorite window in our sanctuary. 

Some point to the window with our Eternal Light. 

Others point to a window where they can see the setting sun.

But many gravitate toward one of the smaller windows, tucked away in corner.  One of our High School kids recently explained, “This window helps us remember that no matter what your size, you bring light.”

 

In our busy lives, we all need to take a moment in time to take in the smallest rays of goodness that come from the most uncommon of places.  Those small rays often are the most meaningful.

With love and shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
