Dear all,
Our son Eli has been really into mazes lately 鈥攕olving the ones I draw and creating his own for me.
One maze in particular seemed impossible. No exit, no solution.
But Eli reminded me: 鈥渢here is always a way out.鈥�
Life can feel the same. We hit dead ends, double back, circle in frustration. It鈥檚 easy to lose heart.
And yet, our story reminds us otherwise. After forty years of wandering, of wrong turns and uncertainty, the Israelites still found their way to the Promised Land.
(It would have been really nice had they used a good GPS. But I suppose the story wouldn鈥檛 be nearly as interesting).
There is always a path forward鈥攖hough it may twist, and though it may challenge us.
And in that moment in time when we find it, we do so with sharper minds, deeper wisdom, and renewed courage.
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zachary R. Shapiro
