A Hasidic story tells of a rabbi’s son who used to wander in the woods. The rabbi asked his son, “I wonder why each day you walk in the woods?” The boy replied, “I go there to find God.” “That’s very good, son. But, don’t you know that God is the same everywhere?” “Yes,” the boy answered, “but I’m not.”

May GOD bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships, so that we may live deep within our hearts.
May GOD bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that we may work for justice and peace.
