If your life is anything like mine, time has become elastic. The boundaries between work and home and rest and ritual have blended together, and it’s not hard to get a little lost in time. Last Friday, I inadvertently shared a Shabbat message written about this week’s Torah portion. So, this week, rather than simply reshare that essay (it’s below, if you haven’t had a chance to read it yet), I thought I’d also share this TED Talk from Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, who passed away last week. I hope you find his message as resonant and inspirational as I do.

Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Jay Strear
