Doesn’t it seem easier if we just knew how it would all work out?
Doesn’t it seem easier if we just knew how it would all work out?
This week we stand at the cusp of a new beginning. We’re heading headfirst into a new book of Torah, one filled with real highs and real lows, I mean literal slavery and redemption.
This week though, our forefather Yaakov wanted to tell us how it all ends, but he wasn't allowed.
Instead, he left us with blessings. With support. With the promise that we can and will do this.
We may not know the ending, but we have everything we need to take the next step.
And then the next one.
Until we complete the long, windy, very fulfilling journey.
