Live With Wonder

"Ralph Waldo Emerson once asked what we would do if the stars only came out once every thousand years. No one would sleep that night, of course. The world would create new religions overnight. We would be ecstatic, delirious, made rapturous by the glory of God. Instead, the stars come out every night and we watch television."

The pasuk says השמים מספרים כבוד א-ל ומעשיו ידיו מגיד הרקיע - Look at the heavens and you will appreciate Hashem. Millions of stars, galaxies, planets and so much yet to be discovered. So why don't we appreciate it? Why don't we hear the heavens relating the praises of Hashem?? The pasuk continues and explains יום ליום יביע אומר ולילה ללילה יחוה דעת אין אומר ואין דברים בלי נשמע קולם - It happens EVERY DAY. Old news. We are used to it!

Sweetest friends - live with WONDER!

Like CHILDREN:-)! Children are filled with wonder.

כי נער ישראל ואוהבהו - Hashem loves us because we are like lads. He loves our youthful wonder.

This Torah should be a zchus for a VERY YOUTHFUL Jewess. Naava Aliza Jaspan!! Welcome beautiful baby!! May you be a light unto Israel! And to your parents R' Avraham Yitzchak and Hila - may this be the beginning of a large holy family!!
