It can also lead us to be disappointed, causing us regret and embarrassment.

      Recently, my oldest son showed moral courage in front of my youngest son. While walking in Brooklyn, they witnessed a man, full of rage, banging on a car of an older man and uttering anti-Semitic statements. My oldest son not only feared that the older man would be hurt, but he also could not stand idle by while witnessing anti-Semitism. He told the angry man to cool off and walk away. Things could have turned badly, but God protected them and nothing happened. While I was scared for their safety—I was also moved by my son’s courage!

      I once saw a T-shirt with a sentence I found meaningful: “Look back to learn. Look forward to succeed.” My wish for all of us is to have the courage to do what needs to be done and thus experience positive and welcoming growth! Change is inevitable. Let’s make growth—the product of change—something of which we can be proud!

      Your Personal Lev Moment

      1 1.Is there anything in your life that might need sprucing up—an imaginary injection of newness? Is there a plan you want to revisit, tailor, or tweak a little? Is there anything outside of your comfort zone you want to explore?

      2 2.Who is your hero? Have they shown physical courage or moral courage? Are they alive? Why do you consider this individual your hero? What have they done to be impactful on you? Did their impact influence others besides you? Your family? Your neighborhood? Your community?

      3 3.Can you think of a time or an action that caused change in you or in others?

      4 4.Study a person from the Bible who showed either physical or moral courage. What about this individual drove them to demonstrate courage? What lessons do you glean from them?

      5 5.Imagine you are wearing this T-shirt “Look back to learn. Look forward to succeed.” Can you come up with two tasks you would love to succeed at? What is your plan of action to get you there? Can you begin with a couple of steps toward that direction this week?

      Be a Champion in Your Eyes!

      I marvel at the symbolism and the hidden meaning of the majestic Hebrew letters. All Hebrew letters are believed to have hidden facets of spiritual force within them. The first letter of the Hebrew language is alef (image). For now, I want to focus only on this letter—the letter alef. Every Hebrew letter has an equivalent numerical value. Alef’s numerical value is one (and the letter bet is two, gimmel is three, and so on). The Hebrew word for “letter” is the word ot (image). The word ot also means “a sign,” implying that Hebrew letters, from alef to tav, have spiritual signs and energy force.

      In the Talmud, it is said that Betzalel, who was tasked with the building of the Tabernacle in the wilderness, knew how to combine certain letters to form a word and thus create a physical manifestation of that word. In this way, he created the objects in the Mishkan (Tabernacle), which is why he was chosen for this holy task (Brachot 55a). What is inside these letters that makes them special?
