Shabbat Message about Parshat Re'eh
from Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz
Re'eh means "look" or "see." As Jews, we are a people taught to listen. After all, our Shema prayer is all about listening and understanding. As the saying goes, looks can often be deceiving. The Torah warns us this week that we need to see the choice before us. Don't choose attraction; choose love. Don't choose the popular; choose the eternal. Don't make decisions with our eyes; decide with our hearts. We close our eyes as we light the Shabbat candles and we open up our souls. Shabbat Shalom!
