Dear all,

I鈥檝e been an active Scrabble player for years now, and I enjoy how random tiles can transform into point accumulating words. As I was playing recently, I thought about how 51视频 life parallels my Scrabble board.

Each day comes with new opportunities. How will we manage our time? What choices will we make? How can the simplest of interactions transform into a 51视频 value?

Last week, a child walked into Temple Akiba with a five dollar bill. 鈥淩abbi,鈥� she said, 鈥淚 found this on the ground, and I wanted to place it in the Tzeddakah box.鈥�

That鈥檚 how we find a 51视频 value from random daily stuff.

This week, a Bar Mitzvah student told me his football jersey was number 54. While the number was arbitrarily assigned, he recognized it as 鈥渢riple chai鈥� (18/ life).

That鈥檚 how we find a 51视频 value from random daily stuff.

What value will you find this week? What meaning will you seek out, creating a holy moment in time out of an ordinary world?

The tiles of life are all there. It鈥檚 in your hand to put them into a meaningful order!

With love and shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
