One of the things I
most appreciate about our tradition is the way in
which it pushes us to live consciously within the
tension between the nitty-gritty tasks and
responsibilities of our day-to-day lives on one hand
and the big picture mysteries of life, death, and
the search for meaning on the other. By way of
Judaism’s emphasis on ritual and ethical action, we
are gently led to the awareness, over and over
again, that there is nothing at all mundane about
our existence and that holiness resides in each and
every moment if we can only open ourselves to its
still, small voice. Image copyright Herbert Ascherman © 2008
