In this morning’s class, Rabbi Bernath explored the timeless lesson hidden in a sleepy Midrash. When Rabbi Akiva saw his students dozing off, he woke them not with rebuke, but with revelation: the story of Queen Esther’s 127 provinces, mirroring the 127 years of Sarah’s life. From this, the Chedushei HaRim teaches that Sarah lived every moment so fully that each second became a kingdom of its own. Rabbi Akiva’s message? Every moment we “sleep through” is a world lost. Through humor, wisdom, and a dash of Churchill’s charm, Rabbi Bernath reminded us that time is not money, it’s life itself.Takeaways:Every Moment Matters: Like Sarah, each of us has the power to turn seconds into significance.Wakefulness Is Spiritual: Falling asleep… literally or metaphorically means missing the miracle of now.Time Is Life, Not Money: The Rebbe taught that time is not a commodity but a living gift. Use it with purpose.Presence Is Royalty: Esther’s reign flowed from Sarah’s lived time; our own “reign” depends on how awake we are to our days.Humor and Holiness Coexist: Even Churchill and Rabbi Akiva knew that a good laugh can wake up the soul.#Kabbalah #chassidus #Judaism #Jewish #jewishmysticism #time #presence #purpose #life #chabad #spiritualgrowth #Spiritual #chassidut #kabala #sarah Sign up for "The Forgiveness Lab" HERE: https://www.jewishndg.com/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=89Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
