As technology becomes increasingly faster and more convenient, we expect to do more and have more in less space. However, everything has its limits.
A few months ago, I opened my email to find that I had no more available space. They offered me additional space for a monthly fee, showing how limited our space can be.
My phone is also constantly running out of space, requiring me to transfer data to free up memory. Even my laptop, where I write these articles, frequently notifies me of limited space. We must choose wisely what we fill our space with, whether it’s data, belongings, or relationships.
The Mishna in Avot 4:14 praises the Jewish people for being called sons to the “Makom – Omnipresent.” Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky suggests that every individual is crucial to the Jewish cause, as conveyed in the post-Holocaust years. Despite our success, we must ensure that every person, especially our children, knows they have a valuable place in our community.
Every Jew is essential, and we cannot afford to lose any. We must convey to everyone, especially our children, that there is always space for them and that their contribution is vital to our nation.
