First Class Seat

Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler accompanied a student to the train station, the first stop on the young man’s journey to a new country. As they approached the station, the student asked his holy rabbi for a blessing.

“From the depths of my heart, I wish for you, that you find a good seat for your journey, so that your travels will be comfortable.”

“My Rebbi, is that the best blessing that you have for me? You can only bless me for my journey and not for my life!”

“I did bless you for your entire life. My intention was that this is only the first step of your life’s journey. I blessed you with a comfortable ride for the entire trip.”

Tomorrow night we will begin the next stage of our life’s journey. The Foundation Stone™ prays that God will bless you with a first-class for the next step of the jouney and for the entire trip.

Good Traveling.

Shabbat Shalom and Shana Tova

    Each journey begins with the first step.
    The first step begins perhaps with putting on our shoes.
    Halacha says there’s a specific way to put on our shoes.
    The Torah wants us to start our journeys on the right foot.

    I bless us with the advent of the New Year, we start things off on the right foot (and let’s keep that foot out of our mouths!!!)
