How was your day?
How’s your marriage?
What’s your neighbor like?
A few years ago my brother went with a group from his community to visit Israel. During the trip Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz addressed the group and concluded with these powerful words, “When you return to America, what you share about Israel says more about you than about Israel.”
Whether you hear Laurel or Yanny has more to do with you than the actual reality. The same is true with life in general.
How you answered the questions above is more a reflection of yourself than the reality.
We choose which part of reality to focus on.
It is up to us to see, hear and discover the good in on our circumstances and the people around us
Shabbat Shalom
Rabbi Benjy Silverman
