The Talmud teaches that 30 days before Passover, we should start learning about the holiday and its meaning. In that spirit, I humbly offer "30 Days of Liberation." For each of the next 30 days, I will offer a brief message drawn from the wisdom of Passover. I hope you find these messages meaningful and inspiring. Feel free to share/forward.
30 Days of Liberation: Day 17 In her commentary on Exodus, Aviva Zornberg points out that Moses is a man with neither nationality nor language. The point, perhaps, is that Moses could be anyone, and that anyone could be Moses. How might you treat the beggar on the street, or that difficult person at work, if you recognized that he or she might one day become a great liberator? And what if the redemption of an oppressed people depended, ultimately, on you? If anyone - of any background, of any ability - could be Moses, then perhaps we ought to walk through the world with the assumption that everyone we encounter is a potential Moses. And, maybe most importantly, we ought to regard ourselves as potential Moseses, and fulfill our destinies.
As of today, we are $5 shy of $40,000!! The GOOD NEWS is we still have 18 days to meet the $100,000 goal! We can do this – it won’t be easy but It will be worth it.
