No "Why" Too Small: Parshat Behaalotecha 2026 June 5

Entry/Object ID

rdi-2026.06.05

Scope and Content

Aaron had to light the menorah every day and hold it until it would stay lit without him. Ishbitzer rebbe says that he did it with fresh intention every day, not by rote. How do we bring that light to our lives? Quotes Rachel Goldberg-Polin quoting Victor Frankel about having a "why" to live for. Our why can be just for the moment. This allows the intention to stay "lit."
