Some of the holiest strength is the kind no one sees. The survivor who keeps going. The person in recovery choosing one more day. The one battling depression who gets out of bed anyway. You may feel unseen - but you are not erased. “Leha’alot ner tamid” - to kindle a constant flame. A light that burns even when no one is watching. Hidden does not mean absent, and if you feel invisible just know you are never insignificant This is Turning the Wheel. Because the road to healing isn’t straight - and no one should have to walk it alone. @zgluck

ing from this week's para Mosher
Rabenu's name from the moment he's born
in Safer Shimos his name appears in
every single para except one para
[music]
and right before Purim we read this para
where Mosha's name is hidden as we
prepare for where Hashem's name is
hidden hidden leadership hidden presence
hidden light that's not an accident the
para starts off and you shall command
Hashem is saying not Moshe just you
because sometimes the greatest leaders
don't need their names written. Moshe
stated after the
erase me from your book, he was willing
to disappear if it meant saving his
people. And in this para, his name is
hidden. But his presence, it's
everywhere. There was a man in who lived
that same way. His name was Ariel Zatal.
They called him the saddic of
Jerusaleim. Every week he would spend
time with people rejected by society,
those who others had forgotten. One time
he went with his wife to a doctor. The
doctor asked her what seems to be the
problem. Raaria answered, "Her foot is
hurting us. Not her foot hurts. Her foot
hurts us."
He didn't live a life where he was the
center. Quietly, consistently. Yet when
he passed away, tens of thousands of
people showed up to his Levia. A hidden
man whose light had touched an entire
generation. Just think about all the
people who feel hidden. Survivors who
were silenced. People struggling with
addiction who feel erased. Those
battling depression who feel invisible.
Just because your name isn't being
called doesn't mean your light isn't
burning. Because in this para, right
after Mosha's name disappears, the Torah
commands nearmed to kindle a constant
flame. A flame that burns constantly
even when no one sees it. And that's
you. If you're still fighting, still
trying, still getting up in the morning,
even quietly, that's you. And that's
Pum. Hashem's name never appears in the
migilla, but he's in every line. That is
what this par is coming to teach us. You
may feel unseen, but you are not erased.
Your light still burns. And sometimes
the [music] deepest holiness is the kind
that doesn't need to be noticed. This is
turning the wheel [music] because the
road to healing isn't straight, but no
one should have to travel alone. Have a
great Shabas and a happy and safe PM.
