Rabbi's Corner

Message from the Rabbi

Do It Yourself
“Send agents to scout the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelite people;"(Numbers 13:2)

I say, never send someone to do something, you can do yourself.  There is a role for delegating responsibilities and teaching our children the value of partnership.  However, when it comes to the really important things in life, don’t leave it to someone else. We need to step into the opportunity and not shy away from challenges.  It is easy to just shirk our responsibilities and use the excuse that others will do it.  To paraphrase the musical Hamilton, "take your shot" and do something great.

As the summer is upon us, I would like to invite you to come and visit with me. I would love to go out to coffee or just sit and catch up.  Just respond to this email with a time that works for you and what kind of beverage I can get for you. (Or we could meet at Carvels with the entire family.)
