In the Blink of an Eye 

The story of Rahamim Melamed Cohen, in the video link attached, is a blow away.  It’s testimony to a person’s capacity to see the majesty of his own mission, no matter how feeble his circumstances.

On the first Rosh Hashana in creation, the first humans with soul were put in to this world.  Once again, this Rosh Hashana, our life will be given anew.  What determines the power, resourcefulness, wisdom, and staying power of that gift of life?  How much we want a powerful, resourceful, wise, and resilient life. 

Fortunately, most of us are not confronted by the difficulties of Dr. Cohen, but his simple message of small, unstoppable acts of gratitude and concern for others is the stuff that heroes are born from.

Shabbat Shalom,
