Kehilaton: 9/12/09
Dear Friends, We’ve always described Shabbat as a day of happiness and joy -- a day commanded-upon us to rest. However, this Shabbat we can’t help but be reminded of what happened eight years ago, on Sept. 11th, 2001 -- the day that changed the world. I would like to share a short story... In a small town, a group of townspeople constantly made fun of a person who was considered the village fool. That person was outwardly not very intelligent and worked for small pennies doing whatever he could. Everyday, the people called the guy (the foolish one) to the bar where they got together, and asked him: "Which of these two coins would you like? That big one has a value of $400 and that small one has a value of $2000." The guy always chose the big coin with the small value and when he did, everyone laughed. One day, a by-stander called the foolish one aside and asked: "Don’t you realize that you’re always choosing the coin that has the small value?" "I know, answered the guy. I’m not a fool. True, the smaller coin has a value five times more than the larger coin, but on the day that I pick up the smaller coin, the game will be over, and I won’t gain anymore coins!" We can learn a number of important lessons from this story…
and... So, let’s understand that we are not idiots and that we must fight and condemn all kinds of terrorism, injustice, anti-Semitism and intolerance. If we don’t, then who will?! In the blessed memory of all the innocent people who died on Sept. 11th, 2001… Shabbat Shalom! |
