[HANASHIR:6188] There are no coincidences.



Hello all,

I would like to briefly recount an experience from last night:

I teach Religion School music in the chapel of our synagogue, a beautiful 
building in which many of the "artifacts" of our old demolished sanctuary are 
kept.  The ark, lamps, and menorahs were all created in the early 1910's.  Even 
though I teach in there, I never really looked before at the room in which I 
taught.  For me, it was simply the music room.

Last night at a committee meeting, I sat in the chapel and, bored, looked at 
the ark.  The inscription over the top read "Da lifnei mi-atah omeid"--Know 
before whom you stand.

Coincidence?  God.

Shalom,

Neil Weinstein
