Adam And You

The Jewish people are about to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, generally known as the Jewish New Year.

I wish to share with all of you, whatever your faith, one of the many inspiring lessons of this commemoration.  A lesson that can help each of us, climb our mountain.

Rosh Hashanah doesn’t commemorate the first day of creation, it celebrates the creation of the Human Being, Adam, which was on the sixth day.

One might ask then, why was Adam created alone rather than one of many?

Adam was created on purpose with a specific purpose and he knew it.  Being only one, only he could accomplish his purpose or mission.  All depended on him.

A Lesson For All

We are all created with a uniquely specific purpose and mission.  If we think of ourselves as an Adam, then we realize that our purpose is also ours alone and all depends on each of us.  We can’t expect someone else to do it for us.

This is a powerfully inspiring thought, that reminds each of us of how valuable our lives are, individually and collectively.

You are not just matter, it is you that matters!

Sing along “Only you can make this world seem right / Only you can make the darkness bright / Only you and you alone!”*

Or maybe, the real reason Adam was created alone was so that he couldn’t kvetch, go to a therapist, and blame his problems on his parents or anyone else!😀

L’Shana Tova A Good And Sweet Year

 Be Good Do Good Think Good Be Grateful Be Healthy Be A Light Learn Smile
