As women, we are known to have spot on intuition. its a very unique spiritual gift from Hashem, that is often overlooked, there in its position on the right side of the brain. Today I am reminded of a beautiful story in the midrash, that when the Israelites built the temple, they chose only the most exquisite and perfect stones for its construction. There was one stone the builders thought was not good enough to be a part of the construction, so they discarded it. However when the time came to lay the final stone, which happened to be a part of the Holy of Holies there was no stone left, the builders were in a quandary, and then someone remembered the flawed stone. When it was set into the gap in the Holy of Holies it fit perfectly. The temple was now complete!
No matter how unimportant we think we are, we all have a essential role to play!
What a beautiful lesson, so important for everyone to hear! thank you for sharing!
