My posts have become less frequent lately. This isn't just because of my busy schedule (blessed to have three jobs), but also because I've noticed a trend where people post simply to be heard. I've decided to share content only when: Someone specifically requests it It will genuinely make a difference I feel a deep need to share it As we approach Purim this year, I find myself in a different mindset than I have ever been in before. These 500 days -  of  October 7th+, to tracking the war and bombs injuries and losses, to watching hostages come home week after week.

While there are many hidden reasons and sources, let's focus on one practical lesson we can apply: In the Torah portion, we read that when the Jews collected the manna (man), regardless of whether someone took more or less than they should have when they returned home, they found exactly the portion size that was designated for them.
