~Albert Einstein
Today, on Friday before Shabbat, I had one thing in mind and that was to pursue peace, justice and truth. Today was a miracle in that I tried the Messianic goal of having a Shabbat, or close to a Shabbat on a Friday including tomorrow which is a Saturday, (when the Messiah comes everyday will be a Shabbat).
The sun is going down now and the real Shabbat is starting. The cold icy sky of Chicago's winter is getting gray in color and soon will be alive with reds and pinks and purples of a sunset just before Shabbat. I knew I had it in my abilities to obey truth, justice, and peace--and I did it. I have committed no sins today. I have no reason to do teshuvah today, no reason to ask for forgiveness. I was rewarded tonight by Adonai in that I was trusted by someone who had a very hard time trusting me in the past. Today this person just gave me her total trust and I was able to fulfill her expectations. If communicating with warring people just takes away my peace of mind--then there will be no more communication with them. Shabbat will ease into every day of the week in spots, and not just be contained on a Saturday. Peace is my goal and I will obey the 10 Commandments plus the 613 Commandments in order to get this daily peace. We as Jews are obligated to recite prayers everyday--and my prayers were answered today. This was a miracle in my life. Todah rabbah, Adonai.
