יסוד שבתפארת
A day of foundation in a week of compassion
I like to share The Timechart History of Jewish Civilization with my students. It's a great visual of the ebb and flow and milestones of our tradition. Major events, movements, monuments, and people are given sidebars and pictures. You zoom in to or out of the time periods to get different perspectives.
At yesterday's Peacock North luncheon, I got to reconnect with people I worked with for 10 years.......30 years ago. We have a lot of history together that is now, in itself, history. It was great to feel and receive such warmth that easily spanned the years. It was great to touch base and catch up and just have joy in seeing these people again.
Those 10 years are a definite era in the timeline of my life. I'd have to think about what I'd highlight :)
On this day of foundation I get to honor a foundational time in my life.
