Quoting a story from the 19th century rabbi, Israel Salanter, about the tailor who would keep mending clothes as long as the candle was still burning. Especially after the escalating horrors of this week, as long as the candle is still burning, let us find ways to mend relationships with ourselves, friends, family - anyone with whom we need to mend. It's raining today, hurricane Arthur approaches, driving back from Whole Foods, I passed a drenched stranger and thought about offering him a lift. I didn't, but is thought about it. It's a start, I guess. Shabbat shalom!
