parasha

We must remember the past and learn from it without constantly reliving emotions and experiences that have long since passed.

There is always a choice to be made.

What does it look like to think of one day as helping us to balance our lives?

Everyone's contribution, and occasionally sacrifice, is necessary.

Shabbat is the antidote to our busy pressure-filled lives.

Allowing each individual's particular talents to find expression strengthens the entire unit.

Shared responsibility enables everyone in the community to depend on each other.

Insults are easy to give but hard to retract.

Each and every person we interact with can teach something.

Even if hardship or illness has visited us or those we love, we can still be grateful for the many blessings we have.
