Welcome, dear friends. Today, let us reflect on a profound teaching from the Rambam. He emphasizes the importance of intention in our daily actions. It’s not enough to perform a good deed; the heart’s intention must align with the act. When we give charity, for instance, it should come from a place of genuine compassion, not mere obligation. This reminds us that our daily interactions should be filled with purpose and mindfulness. Imagine approaching each task, whether it’s helping a neighbor or simply smiling at a stranger, with the intention of spreading kindness. By doing so, we elevate the mundane into the sacred, transforming our routines into opportunities for spiritual growth. So, let’s take a moment to align our intentions with our actions today. In every small deed, let’s infuse our hearts with love and joy, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary blessings. Thank you for joining me in this reflection.
