Hashem in His infinite wisdom began our lessons in living through our daily fare. The Talmud states that the taste of the manna was integrally linked with the taster’s thoughts. If one thought of steak the manna tasted like steak: if one thought of borscht, the manna tasted like borscht. In fact, the Chofetz Chaim was once asked, “what happens if you think nothing?” He answered very profoundly: “If one thinks of nothing, then one tastes nothing!” During the week the Jews had the manna but did not realize its great potential. The Malbim explains that is why it only tasted like oily dough. But on Shabbos, a day filled with sweet relaxation, heavenly thoughts filled the minds of the nation. And those sweet thoughts produced sweet tastes! The Talmud also says that to small children the manna tasted like dough, but to scholars it tasted like honey. For if one thinks of honey, he tastes honey. When one thinks blandly, he has bland taste. Perhaps on Shabbos the Jewish People realized the important lesson of life. The questions we face should not be addressed as eternally mysterious. We can not face the unknown with the question, “what is it?” Rather, we can define our destiny and challenge our uncertainties. “It is what!” What you put into it is exactly what you take out! Life presents us many opportunities. We can approach those moments with lofty thoughts and see, smell, and taste its sweetness. Or we can see nothing and taste nothing. ************ Or Menorah - Weekday Schedule of Services Weekday Minyanim with Rabbi Doug ~ M-F Shacharit: 8:00am we meet in Bnei Ruven’s Bet Midrash - Ashkenaz Minyan. ~ S-TH Mincha/Maariv: approx 10 minutes before Sunset we meet in Shevet Achim/Buckingham. ~ Motz'ei Shabbat Maariv: Saturdays 33 minutes after Sunset at Or Menorah ~ Sunday Shacharit: 9:20am at Or Menorah ~ Monday Shacharit on Legal Holidays: 9:20am at Or Menorah ~ Friday Mincha – 10 min. after Candle Lighting at Or Menorah ********************************** If you have a birthday, a Yahrtzeit, a simcha, a baby coming, or you are a chiuv....
