In memory of my maternal grandfather, Chaim ben Avraham, whose yahrzeit was observed yesterday, who died very young many years ago but has never been forgotten. (To dedicate a future Table Talk, send an email.)
In the spirit of last week's post, thank you to the anonymous soul who designed this inspiring image which appeared in my inbox yesterday.It was timely — over the past couple weeks we've learned of several people, both friends and friends of friends, currently battling cancer and other life-threatening conditions.
I believe that the key to this mantra ("What is this teaching me?") is to apply it to my own challenges, not yours.
To your challenges, I respond with empathy and any help I can give.
To my challenges, I try to train myself to ask this question.
Question for your table: How many times a week could you ask yourself that question? (How many times a day?)
Shabbat Shalom
