A Moment in Time: You Can do Anything for a Minute

[additional-authors]
June 22, 2020
Dear all,
You may recall that I had a shoulder injury from a bike ride a few weeks ago. Thanks to my wonderful physical therapist, I am healing well.
He had me try something new today. He gave me these very cute purple 2 pound weights that I simply needed to raise and lower for one minute.
Easy, right?
After 15 seconds, those cute little weights transformed into a ton each!
But I remembered a lesson from my colleague, Rabbi Benj Fried, “You can do anything for a minute.”
It was really hard, but I made it. And I realized that in life, we need to go out there, face our fears, embrace our mountains, and harness our challenges – for just a moment in time!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
