Dear Ladies,
Time slips through our fingers so quietly -suddenly, it is already May.
We don’t control how fast time moves, but we do choose how deeply we live within it. Each day carries a spark, waiting for us to notice it, to elevate it.
Today is Pesach Sheni - a powerful reminder that Hashem always gives us a second chance. Even what feels missed or lost can be reclaimed and transformed. It is customary to eat matzah today as a symbol that it’s never too late to begin again.
As Lag BaOmer approaches, we are reminded that even a small flame can illuminate the darkest spaces. The question is not how much time we have - but what light we bring into it.
Wishing you a week of presence, depth, and inner light.
Warmly,
Esther Dear Ladies,
Our Torah class is tomorrow at 10:00 AM at the shul.
Join us for a meaningful and uplifting experience - a beautiful way to start your day.
Looking forward to seeing you,
