by Chaplain Dr. Rabbi Leslie Schotz
Rabbi Nachman of Breslov says the world is a very narrow bridge. The main thing is not to be afraid.
We are created from the earth and to the earth we will return.
The heavens are water above. The
lakes and oceans hold the mystery and life force below.
We walk a path of hopefulness even as we reflect about the future of all life on earth. Our days are numbered. The Psalms remind us to treasure each day and open our hearts to its wisdom.
The path we take can lead us to
transformation.
Like the swan appearing so graceful, yet vigorously
paddling underneath. We too struggle within to make teshuvah, an inner
turning. With tefillah we pray. And tzedekah justly empowers others to
be nurtured and supported by community resources.
As we remember each of us is created in G!d’s image: B’tzelem Elokim.
