Born in Washington, D.C. I grew up in Teaneck, NJ, a suburb of NYC. At the age of 18 I began my travels; travels that have taken me around the world and back. Along the way I attended the University of Montana, Barry University in Miami, and studied under the spiritual giant Rabbi Y. M. Twerski from Milwaukee. I am now raising a family in Israel and learning to be me.
Chaos by its very nature is haphazard, mixed up, unclear, and confused. Matters that are debated and decisions that are made in an atmosphere of chaos will have chaotic outcomes. When debating important issues and making big decisions we should do so with clear level heads. We should not be afraid we remove ourselves from chaos when making important decisions.
A tragedy happened. A massive crane fell and people where hurt. We grope for answers, after all, that is human nature. There exists a level of maturity in which we do not need to search for answers. One who arrives at this level of maturity is able to accept that not every question needs an answer and not every problem needs to be solved. This level of maturity embraces silence and accepts that there are times when the best solution is to give a heartfelt sigh from deep within. It would be wise of us to acknowledge this level of maturity and set it as a goal for ourselves.
