Rabbi's Corner

“And on those stones you shall inscribe every word of this Teaching most distinctly.” (Deuteronomy 27:8)
As we make our way from one location to another, we too pick up items and they become part of who we are.  They become part of our story.  Some people call it baggage, some call it experience.  No matter, we must decide what becomes sacred to us and what has become an obstacle for further growth.  It is this week’s parsha, as we prepare ourselves for the upcoming high holidays that reminds us to consciously decide what moves forward and becomes permanent and what we can finally let go of.
