Welcome, dear friends, to a moment of reflection on life’s journey as seen through the wisdom of our tradition.

Our sages teach us “Who is mighty?  One who conquers their inclinations”.  We often think of physical strength, but true strength lies in mastering ourselves.  The yetzer hara, the inclination towards negativity, whispers in our ear constantly.  It urges us towards anger, laziness, indulgence.  Yet, every time we choose kindness, discipline, and moderation, we achieve a small victory of immense worth.

This is the quiet heroism of everyday life.  And in these triumphs, we discover the strength we never knew we possessed.
