Similarly, we must internalize the knowledge that hunger and illiteracy, homelessness and loneliness will only be eradicated through the gift of our personal effort. It is never too late to reorient our priorities. We share our lives with God through regular prayer. If you are not yet enjoying the spiritual intimacy that prayer can provide, your synagogue is committed to serve as your guide and mentor. It is never too late to grow.
Behaviors determined by the life cycle as well as by the Jewish calendar can enrich our lives.
We know that these mitzvot are God's gift to help us reach our potential. But if Shabbat and yom tov observance, kashrut and other mitzvot are not currently a part of our life, it is hard to begin. Without a commitment to live a full Jewish life, it is difficult to grow. As your coach and mentor, your synagogue accepts the challenge of stimulating and supporting your religious development. It may be hard to reach our potential, but it is never too late.
