This guy wasn’t in the mood for trying on Tefilin, but when it came to the 25 hour fast on Yom Kippur, he pulled through like a Champ! Shoshana Hadassah Foreman and I are proud of you, Lev!!

Wise words from our Rabbi.

In the late 1860s, within the Russian Empire, huntsmen perfected a method of hunting wolves known as Flagging. By using this technique, they were able to prevent wolves from escaping by creating a psychological obstacle for them. The huntsmen would place flags made of cloth that carried the scent of humans, which naturally frightened the predators. The wolves perceived these flags as an invisible wall, and their fear would rarely allow them to overcome it and escape, ultimately leading to their capture or demise. Very rarely the predator would jump over the flags and lead others for survival.

This hunting method serves as a metaphor for the limitations we impose upon ourselves as human beings. Just like the wolves, we often find ourselves stopped short of achieving significant goals or accomplishments. Fear acts as an invisible wall that surrounds us, preventing us from taking the necessary leaps of faith and venturing beyond our comfort zones.

It's important to recognize that fear is often an illusion. The more we allow ourselves to absorb and be consumed by fear, the more we limit our potential and increase the likelihood of failure. By acknowledging that fear is a psychological construct, we can begin to challenge its power over us.

Have a great week everyone!
