Dear all,
On a recent bike ride, I came across a sign shaped like a stop sign, but that read, “start.” It reminded me of a piece of wisdom I learned long ago: “If it gives you pause, pause.”
In other words, we need to think deeply about the consequences of our words, our actions, and our expressions. Those consequences often have a lasting impact. But that moment in time we take to stop before we start … that moment can give recalibrate our compass, and we can then start with greater integrity.
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
