it's one of the most harmful beliefs in
Judaism is that Judaism belongs in the
synagogue it's just not true Judaism
belongs wherever you are because you're
not Jewish because of
where you are you're Jewish Because of
Who You Are
so if you look in this week's Torah
portion God destroys the entire world
with a flood he tells Noah go into that
Tava go into that Ark of the hashemtov
explains that the word Tava Hebrew word
for Ark Teva literally translates as
word go into the words invest yourself
in the words of prayer you ought to be
safe from the tumult from the flood of
the world invest yourself into the words
of prayer but then ironically God tells
Noah get out of that table when it was
time to leave why would he need to leave
prayer inevitably you got to stop
praying but why would God tell him
stop praying get out of prayer you're
done
and the answer is because you can't just
stay in your spiritual cocoon you got to
take that spiritual spirituality with
you back to the real world one of the
most
annoying things to me after a holiday of
inspirational holiday it's at the end
people say okay back to the real world
as if we're leaving everything behind
and just going back to life and it's not
true we got to merge the Two Worlds we
got to live a spiritually uplifting life
in our everyday existence Shabbos has to
bless our week our week has to
a transition into Shabbos the spiritual
and material world aren't two different
places and with that attitude God could
be comfortable in our world we could be
more comfortable to sell that's my story
and I'm sticking to it
