Rosh Chodesh Tov!!!
Today and tomorrow we celebrate Rosh Chodesh MarCheshvan, the month of Cheshvan.
It was given the popular name of MarCheshvan because “Mar” means bitter. It is a reference to this month having no holidays or special Mitzvahs.
Although the month would seem as empty of any spirituality in reality this month is reserved for the building of the Third Temple with the coming of Meshiach.
It is in this month that the seeds of the potential are planted. Before a tree comes out of the ground we see nothing, but under the surface there is a whole mechanism brewing to bring life into the world.
In the same way, sometimes we might be going through bitter times in our life devoid of any joy, but it is underneath that pain that a new potential is being harnessed.
This is the exile, the world might seem upside down, but it is through the little acts of love and kindness we do that we are building the foundation for a new reality.
The month of MarCheshvan comes to teach us that, it is through our daily and common acts that we have the opportunity to elevate the world.
Have you ever stopped to think that everything you do matters?
Shabbat Shalom
