The Torah is ALL MODELS OF LIFE - as

 

Every week we can gleam a G-dly model of existence - 

 

planned to bring the world together into a state of light holiness and loving kindness - 

 

Last night my 3-year-old granddaughter Tamar said "We went to a hotel and I stayed in the kiddie pool

 but Sari (8) can swim so she went in the deeper water."

 

The Israelites got out of Egypt - but were chased by the army until they were facing the Red Sea - 

REALLY DEEPER WATER!

 

and the Almighty said "why scream at me, Moses ? Tell them to just go forward!"

 

What a MODEL FOR LIFE

 

Okay - you were happy to get out of trouble (Egypt)

 

And now there is a NEW STEP TO TAKE

 

We make decisions - and sometimes scream "G-d why this? why now?"

 

And the wisdom of the Almighty says "JUST GO FORWARD" - to ISRAEL to JERUSALEM.

 

AND THE WISDOM OF THE LITTLE KIDS SAYS

 

LEARN TO SWIM 

and we will all get to the Holy Jerusalem 

and the Temple of the Almighty can be rebuilt-

one stroke at a time.

 

WHAT A MODEL FOR LIFE
