Okay, so in a couple of days we're all going to be dipping the apple in the honey. I heard somebody ask, "Why do we dip apple in honey? Like why not we dip the apple in the sugar? Why not do that?" And I don't know the answer, but I want to share an idea with you. If you think about sugar, sugar grows from the ground. Sugar comes from a field. You don't have to risk getting hurt to get the sweetness of sugar. But when it comes to honey, if you really want honey, you got to take a risk. You can get stung. And that sting can hurt. And perhaps that's specifically why we do use honey. Maybe it's that message. The message that we all know that in life if you really want to feel the sweetness of life, when do we feel the best? It's when we work hard. It's when we step outside our comfort zone. It's when we take risks, take chances. That is when we feel the sweetness of life. And so perhaps that's part of the message. Dipping apple in honey, reminding ourselves that we want a year where we take risks, where we work hard, where we put ourselves out there. And as a result, we feel the real sweetness. Wishing you all a ketiva v'chatima tova, a shana tova.
