This morning I received an email that I’m sure many rabbis would have been proud to write.
Though not the author’s intent, it is a very powerful message as we leave Yom Kippur behind and move into the rest of the year.
inspiration
Many events and stories can inspire us to act. An important skill to learn is how to maintain a level of inspiration.
Abraham and Inspiration
Parshat Lech Lecha 5773
In a previous article I asked:
How did Abraham stay inspired all these years? Why didn’t the gaps, the long years of silence, wear him down?
How Many Times Did God Speak to Avraham?
Parshat Lech Lecha 5773
It’s easy to get the wrong impression.
When we read the Chumash, it seems like every few lines God is speaking to someone.
Starting a Learning Program
Yesterday I wrote about inspiration.
I (poetically) compared it to a vapor that quickly disperses.
Inspiration – How to Keep It
We’ve just ended our annual holy day marathon.
Rosh HaShanah – New Year.
Yom Kippur – Day of Atonement.
Sukkot – Festival of Booths.
Shemini Atzeret / Simchat Torah – 8th Day of Assembly / Rejoicing with the Torah.
Three wonderful weeks. (I’ll just add, much more pleasant than the summer period that is usually referred to as The Three Weeks.)
