DAY 625: A One Word Reflection On Homecoming Weekend: WOW!

(3/17/14)

Wow.
 
How can one put into words the feelings from this past Homecoming weekend? Amazing. Inspirational. Energizing. Incredible. Maybe, but even those superlatives don’t tell the story of the power of our extended Beth Mordecai community. It’s an indescribable and sublime feeling to adequately articulate what this weekend meant or what it did for our community. What word can sum up the connections made between members and present? What description can articulate looking out at a vibrant and present community on Friday night? What expression can adequately summarize the love, connection, and friendship we shared on the cruise? Really there is no word, but if there is any word which can describe the lack of an adequate vocabulary, it would be this…
 
Wow.
 
Much of our prayer is made up of statements of “wow.” We use superlative after superlative in talking about God because there is no adequate way of describing the “wow” feeling we get when we experience God in our lives. Likewise, when we have a special moment that we will always remember, when we experience something that is so special we just smile, we may try as we might to come up with adequate words. But all fail. Well, one works…
 
Wow!
 
Kol Tuv,
 
Rabbi Ari Saks
 
P.S. If words fail to adequately describe the weekend, maybe pictures will! So please send us your pictures from this weekend — via email, our Facebook page, or our NEW Facebook group “We Are Beth Mordecai”
