A Moment in Time: It Takes All Colors

[additional-authors]
May 9, 2019
Dear all,
I have to begin by sharing…. People often ask, “How do you come up with a new moment in time each week?”
I’ll be honest: those moments are all over the place. They call out to us. But are we paying attention?
This week, I share a moment that inspired me in (of all places) the Ice Cream Museum in San Francisco. Ron and I were there recently, and I had the chance to dive into a huge container of colorful thingamajigs.
It was awesome!
And when I looked at this photo that Ron took, it reminded me that in our world that is so often divided, it truly takes all colors to create possibilities, expand imagination, and inspire multi-facetted connections.
We have the opportunity/ responsibility to open our eyes to the colors beyond our usual zone. You never know when it will hit you. But it will. And when it does, you will capture a moment in time!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
