Dear all,
I was recently in one of the classrooms of our synagogue when I came across this message written on the whiteboard: ‘I WAS HERE.”
(With a smiley face!)
It really got me thinking.
Given our relatively short life-span, evidence of our being here – that we somehow made a difference in our brief moment in time – is meaningful.
We have opportunities each day to leave our impression. The question becomes – what will that impression be?
How will our being here make someone smile?
How will our being here make someone whole?
How will our being here heal a sadness?
How will our being here bring peace?
Let people know you were there. Your life matters. Your light matters. No one can be a better you, THAN YOU!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
