Shabbat Shalom
Every Common Bush is Afire with God:
The Legacy of Abraham and Sarah
Abraham and Sara lived their lives with an understanding that happiness emerges from unlocking the potential in any moment and appreciating the gift of every breath. The book of Genesis teaches that God created man by blowing his breath into humanity. Every breath we take is God's way of awakening within us the sacredness of every second. Every moment is new; every breath is fresh and endowed with the potential for eternal resonance.
Inspiration is everywhere when we stop and look. I call it the "burning bush" phenomenon. Redemption began in the Bible when Moses responded to the miracle of a bush that was on fire yet not consumed. He paused to reflect on the anomaly, unlike many who walked by without noticing. Moses was the only person who saw the bush afire and asked, "What is happening in front of me? What does it mean?" Living inspired requires gazing at the burning bushes in our midst and asking why they're there.
I'm forever grateful for pausing at a burning bush on a run in downtown Indianapolis. I looked forward to exploring the area on a beautiful night illuminated by a full moon and warmed by a soft breeze. As I ran past Bankers Life Fieldhouse, I approached an underpass below the interstate and noticed an array of cardboard boxes likely left by people seeking shelter. Then, out of the corner of my eye, as I ran under the bridge, I noticed a book neatly placed on one of the boxes. It was brand-new and entitled 40 Days to Lasting Change: An Aha Challenge by Kyle Idleman. I picked up the book and opened it to a chapter called "Listen to the Wake-Up Calls in Your Life." Well, I then realized that somebody must've placed the book there in the hopes of inspiring a homeless person to find strength and hope. I was inspired by this deliberate act of kindness by an anonymous person. For me, the book was a burning bush.
The following morning, I ran back to the place and saw a city worker cleaning the area. The book was still there from the previous night. I asked him, "Were there homeless people here last night?" He replied, "Yeah, they come every night and I try to offer a kind word." I showed him the book and told him that he was engaged in holy work, like the mysterious book donor, to give the impoverished a sense of possibility and hope. The shining moon of the previous night, the book, and the street cleaner reawakened within me the knowledge that inspiration is everywhere when we stop, gaze, and wonder at the burning bushes in our lives.
Keep in mind the words of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning: "Earth's crammed with heaven, / And every common bush afire with God, / But only he who sees takes off his shoes; / The rest sit round and pluck blackberries." The secret to living inspired is in knowing that though we can't stop time, we can slow it down by infusing fleeting moments with meaning; we can harness every moment for eternity.
Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Daniel Cohen

  • ISRAEL BONDS This Chanukah, give the gift of Israel to your children, grandchildren and relatives! For one night of Chanukah, celebrate Israel and buy an Israel Bond. With bonds starting now at $36, and easily purchased online, this is a perfect gift for the holidays. The more ties we can forge between our children and the State of Israel, the greater likelihood they will understand and appreciate their Jewish heritage, and the stronger Israel will be in the future. Israel Bonds is one of the many vehicles that can be utilized to build linkage between our children and Israel. By gifting an Israel Bond, we send a message to our children that it is as important to loan our monies to Israel as it is to make charitable gifts to our Jewish homeland. At the same time you are teaching your children about making wise investment decisions. Israel has a 100% perfect record of payment of principal and interest on Israel Bonds. The purchase of an Israel Bond is a meaningful expression of commitment to the future strength of the State of Israel and helps to build every aspect of Israel's economy, making it both strong and resilient. For more information, contact Cynthia Blustein, Development Corporation for Israel, at 914-713-9003 or make a purchase and review rates and prospectuses at www.israelbonds.com.
