A Moment in Time: “Did You Catch the Name of YOUR Angel Today”

[additional-authors]
December 8, 2022

Dear all,

Last Friday I met an angel. Her name was Dana.

Dana works for Boeing, and she was attending a private event at the Flight Path Museum at LAX. I took the kids there after school, and we were disappointed upon arrival that we couldn’t enter due to the event.

Dana overheard our situation. (Having two toddlers express their frustration hardly make us inconspicuous!) She ran after us as we walked away and invited us to attend as her guests.

What could have been a failed excursion transformed into a wonderful afternoon.

All because of a chance encounter in that moment in time.

We all meet angels – each and every day. We just need to open our eyes to notice them. Who will you meet today? (And perhaps, just perhaps, you will be the angel to someone else).

With love and Shalom,

 

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
