Working Lessons


If all the world is a classroom and all of life is a lesson, then certainly your profession and workplace are included. After all, He has unlimited ways to provide your livelihood. The fact that He directed you to this way of life means there is something inscribed there specifically for your soul.

Working Lesson
I thank you for your insight and choice of words. I am a Spanish teacher and can honestly say that is was my calling. Of righteous memory is my father Akiva Zelig who firstly instilled the love of knowledge into me and secondly the impartation of knowledge. He was a yeshiva student who taught Haftorah, and the memory of him teaching in a Hebrew school left an indelible mark on me. Not all of the teaching experience has been divine, in fact it comes with many obstacles specifically in a secular setting with politics and hostile work environments. But as the Jewish saying goes, "if you touch but one soul, you have done your job". I think the saying was incorporated into the movie Schindler's List, "if you save but one life you have saved the whole world". No good deed goes unrewarded. And may it never be understimated the power of Hashem and his guidance. All of the glory goes to him, we are just vessels,or lights onto this dark world. Instead of cursing the darkness lite a candle

I have been working on a project and was fearful at moving forward because of funds. I decided to move forward anyway. I start each day reading the Daily Doses, the one this morning was perfect.
