We Cannot Fully Embrace the Moment
from Torah Thoughts · host Noah Tile
B"H Can we ever fully live in the present? In many spiritual paths, embracing the present moment is the ultimate goal. But in Judaism, there’s a deeper tension, we’re called to live fully now, while never forgetting the brokenness of the world. At a Jewish wedding, even in our happiest moment, we break a glass a reminder that Jerusalem is still in ruins. This doesn’t diminish the joy. It elevates it. Because true joy in Judaism is incomplete and that’s what makes it holy. It’s a joy that propels us to action, to healing, to rebuilding.
