Dear all,
Ron and I were invited to tour the kitchen after dining at a great restaurant last week. On the wall was a sign that said, “Make it nice.”
I thought about the many layers of this message:
When you interact with colleagues, make it nice.
When you face customers, make it nice.
When you present a product, make it nice.
When you question a parent, make it nice.
When you tuck your children in, make it nice.
When you make your bed, make it nice.
When you pray, make it nice.
It might take a lot of preparation to get to the point of presentation. But it only takes a moment in time to make it nice. And that moment makes all the difference.
With love and shalom.
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
