Perri Lauren Instagram – Passover starts tonight and yesterday I found myself thinking if, as a Jewish person, I am doing enough.
I know that’s kind of silly, as I’ve sat at almost 34 seders in my life before ever realizing that the Torah is not just a made up book of stories, but the Truth of Hashem and Hashems miracles and wonders and incredible presence in this world, but I dont always “human” well and I’m constantly playing my actions and words over and over in my head, making sure that everything I do, every interaction I have goes “perfectly”. Even though I know there is no such thing.
Those two things don’t necessarily go together but I’m aware that my Jewish ancestors went through so much for me to be where I am today..to have the life I have and the life I get to live, with my incredible family, so to be welcomed to the table feels like a big deal. And of course, no matter what level of observance you are, you are enough…you were always enough..nothing can change that…I dont know why I don’t always see that for myself.
So many of you say to give myself grace, and some days I do..and I can..and some days I just feel like I’m not doing enough as a person on this planet.
It’s just such a stark realization, that Hashem CREATED you. Like…wow!!! And to be alive now. It’s beautiful. Your soul and body were always meant to be here on the day Hashem decided the world could t exist without you.
Anyway, I’m rambling. I just hope that wherever you are tonight, you stay present for the moment and find yourself with a smile.on your face.
To all who observe, have a joyous Passover. 😊 | Posted on 22/Apr/2024 21:47:20
