Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

Less is More
“When you have eaten your fill, give thanks to your God for the good land given to you.” (Deuteronomy 8:10)
“When you have eaten your fill, and have built fine houses to live in, and your herds and flocks have multiplied, and your silver and gold have increased, and everything you own has prospered, beware lest your heart grow haughty and you forget your God —who freed you from the land of Egypt, the house of bondage;” (12-13)

For some no matter how much one has, it will never be enough.  For others less is more.  If there is one thing the recent fluctuations in the market and the post pandemic world has taught us is material possessions will never make us happy.  Be grateful for what you have.  As Epicurus wrote, “Don’t spoil what you have by desiring what you have not.”
