In our walks of life, a profound question often bubbles up, shaking our innate sense of knowing. "Who am I to judge another when I myself walk imperfectly?" This question is not just a philosophical inquiry, but a whisper of humility, a humbling echo of our shared humanity that compels us to reassess our perspectives.

In the divine wisdom of the Torah, we learn, "Do not judge your fellow until you have stood in his place." (Pirkei Avot 2:4) The surface meaning of this teaching appears quite straightforward. Let’s try to inpack it a bit, though.

What does it mean to 'stand in his place'? Is it possible to fully grasp the countless complexities that shape another person's life—their joys and their trials, their dreams and their fears, their strengths and their weaknesses?

We can never wholly perceive the intricate matrix of experiences that constitute another's life. Yet, this should not engender a sense of hopelessness, but rather a profound reverence for the unfathomable depth of each person's existence. This is an invitation to embrace empathy, to open our hearts to the understanding that every soul carries a unique story written in the divine language of life's trials and triumphs.

Now, let's turn our gaze inward. "I myself walk imperfectly." Our own imperfections can feel like burdens, like shadows that chase us on our journey. Yet, the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidism, taught us that our perceived imperfections are, in fact, divine sparks concealed in the materiality of our existence. These sparks are not stumbling blocks but stepping stones on our path to growth, self-discovery, and ultimately, to our Creator.

Thus, our own imperfections remind us of our shared human condition - an existence marked by growth, struggle, triumph, and learning. The Torah doesn't demand perfection from us, but growth. When we see our own imperfections not as flaws but as opportunities for growth, we develop a compassionate lens towards others' imperfections as well.

Judgment, then, transforms from a weapon to a tool - not to belittle or shame, but to empathize and understand, to connect and uplift. Judgment can become a bridge connecting our souls, a conduit for love and understanding in the tapestry of our shared humanity.

So, I leave you with this thought today: In the theater of life, we are all actors, each playing our unique roles, wrestling with our scripts, often improvising, making mistakes, and learning. When we shift from being critics in the audience to fellow actors on the stage, we trade judgment for empathy, isolation for connection, and self-righteousness for humility.

So, as we step into the new week, let's strive to replace judgment with understanding, compassion, and respect for our shared, beautiful, imperfect journey.

Shavua Tov. May it be a week of empathy, connection, and shared growth.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

Well—we made it. The marathon of holidays for 5783 are over. Feels like I’ve barely crossed the finish line, and just in time for a family wedding. I know I said I’d post again after Yom Kippur, but in my defence—every day thus far has been after Yom Kippur 😂 That said, I’m hoping (fingers crossed) to be back next week with our regular schedule blog posting. That wedding I mentioned, though, might delay it another week. Goes to show I prepared I am 😅😬 In the meantime, you’re more than welcome to check out the link in my bio to read up on my archive of posts! Also been deep in some research and drafting for a short story that MAY OR MAY NOT BE GETTING PUBLISHED?!!!!!???!!????? ANYWAY—hope you all are doing well and enjoying your autumn festivities and equally survived the holidays. Now it’s time to start prepping for my favourite holiday of all: #Chanukkah!!!! Sixty days & counting. 👀 Until then, Shavua Tov!! #chagsameach #shavuatov #HighHolyDays #blog #blogpost #blogger #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writer #writing #amwritingfantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5_5CHP4nT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We Jews don't have any traditions to blow out candles.  We only have traditions that light candles.  Why?  We light candles before Shabbat.  We light candles after Shabbat.  We light candles for Yom Tov.  And, when the winter night becomes long, we light many candles on Hanukkah.   Why?  One of the fundamental commandments in Judaism is not to despair.  As bad as things surround us, when the world seems dark, when you find bickering on every corner, when a plague covers the world in the form of a pandemic, and when the world financial markets melt down, we're told NOT to despair.  Keep hope alive.  That is true faith. Believing that this too shall pass.  Believing that God is in charge.  Believing in a better future for our children.  Hope is the light we believe in even when there is none.  Our tradition teaches us to be the light especially when all we see is darkness.  So, I'm here to promise you better days.  Days filled with physical closeness, travel, and laughter, wine, restaurants, and hugs of loved ones. Days of light, of health, of love, of peace, and of prosperity.  The landing will be rough, but the destination will be worth waiting for.  Whatever you are going through, stay strong.  Pray.  God is listening. The best is yet to come.  Come walk with me.  ❤️
