The One Dollar Life
Open your wallet. Take out a single dollar bill. Place it on the table in front of you. Take a long, contemplative look at it. In many ways, this is the most spiritual thing you own

Re’eh in a Nutshell
About two mountains, from which blessings and curses are announced; a home for G‑d, and the difference between holiness and chosenness; meat, blood, false prophets, idolaters, kosher signs, tithes, pilgrimages, and the special Jewish idea of charity.

G-d acquired five acquisitions in His world: the Torah is one aquisition, the heavens and the earth is one aquisition, Abraham is one aquisition, the people of Israel is one aquisition, and the Holy Temple is one aquisition

G‑d is found at two poles of Time:
He is found outside time and beyond.
And He is found here within the moment now.
From that point beyond time, G‑d looks within the moment now, and He says, “From this, I will have delight.”
With that choice, all of past and future is created anew.
