The Fisherman and Me
Over Chanukah, I travelled up to visit my 19-year-old daughter, Hadas, who is a national-service girl near Nahariya.
One morning I sat to pray on a bench overlooking the Mediterranean, and I noticed this fisherman.
And this is what I thought:
The sea has existed forever. And it will exist forever.
Just like Hashem.
And just like that fisherman comes to this eternal sea…
I live as a Jewish woman…
Praying, learning, serving Hashem.
Come for 120 years to connect day by day, moment by moment, with Hashem’s eternity.
Amazing how the sea gives such a feeling of expansiveness and smallness all at once… You might not be wearing tztzit but I think you’re living with the awareness of Hashem in every moment – how powerful!
Thanks for sharing!
