Message from the Rabbi

 
Changing Direction
וַיֵּלְכ֗וּ וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲו֖וּ לָהֶ֑ם אֱלֹהִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־יְדָע֔וּם וְלֹ֥א חָלַ֖ק לָהֶֽם׃ 

they turned and starting walking to the service of other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not experienced*whom they had not experienced (Deuteronomy 29:25)

Just because you are going down the wrong road doesn’t mean you have to keep going in that direction.  Each of us arrives at a fork in the road in our lives and we must make a decision.  We look around, contemplate the pros and cons of each path and sometimes we still get it wrong.  Sometimes, we just make poor decisions. 

Yes, there will be time for regret later.  We all replay the bad choices we have made.  But standing on the wrong road, going in the wrong direction doesn’t mean that commitment will get us where we need to go.  In that moment, regardless of what our ego is telling us, turn back.  Go back to the fork and try the other path.  
Just because you are going down the wrong road doesn’t mean you have to keep going in that direction.  

I am available in half hour slots to speak with you about what is going on in your life. We can do this on the phone, in person, or on zoom.  Just reply to this email to set up a time. Call it a spiritual check up.
