Dear all,
Ron and I celebrated his birthday last weekend with a boat ride in the Marina. This lifecycle milestone gave us an opportunity to reflect on the past year.
How have we grown?
What have been the greatest joys?
What challenges have we faced?
What losses have we endured?
How has fatherhood broadened our goals?
As we talked, we looked up to see this marvelous seal sitting on a dock. For us both, it represented a “Seal of Approval.”
Baruch Atah Adonai, thank you, God, for enabling us to see this angel of creation. We were certainly in the right place in the right moment in time!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
