Dear all,
Care to guess what this photo represents?
Is it from an airplane looking down at desert mountains?
Is it from a telescope looking at the surface of another planet?
Is it of a stone wall in an ancient city?
Believe it or not, this is a close up of a tortoise taken from our Pre-School at Temple Akiba!
In Genesis, when God looked at the creation, God didn’t just look at the world from far away. God saw the crevasses in each mountain, God saw the colors of each fish, God saw the twists in every vine, and God saw the tears in humanity. And when God saw this, God said, “This is good.”
When we take a moment in time to look, to really look at the world more closely, the ordinary becomes exceptional, and the mundane becomes awesome. What will you see this week?
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
