Dear all,
Over the weekend I went on a wonderful walk with Ron and our friend, Philippe, along the “Park to Playa” trail. I checked my watch a few times, realizing that our goal was ambitious for the time we allocated. But Philippe reminded me, “It’s about the journey, not the destination.” Just then, we were met with the sign pictured here.
”Stop, Breathe Relax.”
While Judaism has great emphasis on hope, aspirations, and vision, we keep in mind that the greatest lessons of Torah occur while the Israelites are in the desert, on their way to the Promised Land.
And for us – we often need reminders to stop and capture the blessings along the way. What treasures will you discover today when you take that moment in time?
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
