explanation of theme

Life’s hectic race often leaves us breathless, as we struggle to juggle our myriad responsibilities and tend to the endless chores each new day heralds. It’s so easy and so natural to lose focus of what’s truly important, to forgo the greater picture in the grand scheme of things for the more immediate minutiae. Today, take a step back and reflect on what is truly important in life. Take a moment to think about the beauty of Torah, of Family, of Simchah and of Yom Tov. Remind yourself that everything we do as we race about each day is for a greater purpose and a higher calling. The endless chores create a haven, each a significant building block in the perfection of worlds. Relax and enjoy the beautiful world around you, as you remember why you are doing what you are doing. As you appreciate the miracles in your life. As you FOCUS.

“‫”על ידי יחוד לב יכול כל אחד לגול את האבן מעל באר המים החיים‬ “Through proper focus a person is capable of ‘lifting the stone’ from upon his own ‘wellspring of living waters’.” (Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz Zt”l)
