Musings from Students of the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem
Posted on November 7, 2011 by Heligman
Too often the shades of our life are drawn and God’s magnificent colors are missed. I am taking on this project as a means to stop and enjoy God’s brilliance. For the month of November, each day I will document the evening sunset from the Pardes Beit Midrash. I hope you will stop and notice with me. And I hope we can all share a moment of gratitude.
Today I am feeling gratitude for life’s ability to work itself out. I’ve been in a rut for the last week, feeling unnecessarily stressed and worried, but this evening my bubbles are beginning to pop and I am seeing life more vividly. I feel embraced in this evening’s sunset. It is spectacular – the beit midrash pauses for a moment to gaze out the window then returning to learn with renewed color.
