Rabbi Malka the Rabbi of my town gave an idea from these words

 

Which are Starting out in the Singular form

 

That the Almighty speaks to us all individually and WANTS us to always START AFRESH.

 

Rabbi Carlebach used to say ...

 you get where you have to be - But you must know what you have to do!

 

So HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF YOUR ROUTINES AND START MOVING THINGS?

 

Last night at a wedding I was speaking with a

 

Mother of a five yr old down syndrome girl... 

 

and was able to tell her of a special program in Bar Ilan University

 

working with such kids on a one-on-one basis,

 

Was that why I was at the wedding? Chance?

 

Later I was speaking with a Child Psychiatrist -

 

and when I got home I got an email about the need to help a family wih a troubled child.

 

Was that why I was at the wedding? Not Chance?

 

HOW to put the results of these "chance meetings" together...?

 

The portion Key Tay Tzay talks of punishing a very willful son -

 

but the Talmus says there never was such a case! 

 

But our sages taught - the CONCEPT of the punishment

 

Is written to MAKE US Look ahaead to the end result -

 

And quite obviously to deflect the problem - 

 

as historically the Talmud says there never was such a bad child!

 

How do we nip child problems in the bud? 

How do we try to fix serious issues like those stated in the Torah?

 

With our families and with the joy of weddings and the friendships that grow from these!

That is the Jewish Way!
