Dear all,
Watching the twins on a see-saw recently, I thought of a teaching of the Rambam, who shared that the entire world is evenly balanced between positive and negative acts. But if we can tip the scale by doing just one additional good thing, we can save the entire world. (Mishna Torah, Laws of Teshuva 3:4).
I know we all want balance. But I think we all could use a little tipping of the scale in favor of a better world.
What is the ONE purposeful act we can do, today, to tip the scale?
Your act can be comprehensive:
What organization needs your support?
What institution needs your donation?
What foundation needs your partnership?
Your act can be simple:
Who needs a meal?
Who needs a phone call?
Who needs a hug?
Go out and tip the scale! Saving the world depends on your taking just a moment in time to make a difference!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
