Values in Action - Day 2

I tried something new tonight.  I showed up at the evening service of the first day of Rosh Hashanah.  In the past, I only went to the services where I thought I should be.  Out of 5 services, I would go to two, maybe three.  Something pulled me this year.  I want to be there.  I want to meditate. I want to find a peaceful space that allows me to learn and grow.

As I walked out of services tonight, I looked up at the billboard and thought, "Wow, what a spiritual message for Rosh Hashanah."


As we talk about spiritual renewal, recalibrating, reconnecting and clearing our own spiritual path, I felt that we got lucky.  Often, the billboard outside shul is not appropriate for a spiritual community or an elementary or middle school. It is a conversation that many of us have and we often feel helpless.

Look at that - Self-Storage is stupid, never visit a storage unit again - Make Space.  Spiritually, we shouldn't hold onto things, we should let it go and say goodbye to the past, make room for all that is important to us.  

You walk out of the shul and this is what you see.  I cannot help but realize that the billboard is in the right place at the right time. 

Shana Tovah!
