S ummer’s over and with the kids safely back in school we can look back and think of our highlight vacation moments. But what if we were asked to choose a spiritual highlight of our year? What would that look like?
We might think of Kol Nidrei or the first night of Succos gathered around the table to hear Yom Tov Kiddush. We might remember a hospital visit that made that difference or maybe we helped launch a crowdfunding campaign to help a family get back on their feet.
Undoubtedly there are highlight moments of all kinds. Yet every day we can all have a highlight moment a few seconds in which our life’s mission and task is condensed into a few potent words words that can inject us with such intense joy that the pressures of life dim in comparison.
Baruch Atah Hashem… shelo asani goy — Blessed are You Hashem who has not made me a gentile.
