An Act of Kindness
In the Exodus story, which we read every year on Passover, the Bible teaches us the power of a single act of kindness performed for someone in need.
Rest in God
My children will always have Shabbat...to rest, to stop, to recalibrate, and to refocus on what is truly important so that they can live meaningful, purposeful, godly lives.
The Power of Words
Just as hurtful words can cause lifelong damage, so can kind words positively affect a person for life.

‘The Rock That Is Higher Than I’

Righteous on the Inside
The person who is good, kind, and moral even when no one is looking, is truly holy. And those who are true to God on the inside and out have a place with God for eternity.
Silent Acceptance
As incomprehensible as they might seem, Aaron accepted that God’s ways are just and good—no matter what.
