Living Each Day
by: Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.
"We can awaken from sleep and turn over to sleep again, arising only when the demands of reality force us out of bed. Or we can awaken with the inspiration to arise and get about our mission to fulfill the Divine will. The choice is ours."
What is that Divine will? Each of us are here for a specific purpose designed by HaShem uniquely for us. It is up to each of us to know and choose it. The Divine will for all Jews, however, has remained the same since the giving of Torah - to be a light to the nations and a repairer of the world. As Rabbi said above: "The choice is ours."
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

Reiner and wife murdered. So sad and horrific. We disagreed politically but his was a beautiful and rare talent to see something worthwhile and translate that to the big screen in a way that spoke to everyone, even those who didn't always agree with his worldview.
Experience the magic of Hanukkah at the First Candle lighting ceremony at the Western Wall in Jerusalem! How blessed are we to be living in a time in which no matter where you live in the world we can see such a miracle at the Western Wall. May we soon be able to see this on the Temple Mount itself before the Beit HaMikdash.
