In the moment of our creation, as our eyes fluttered open and our pupils adjusted to the light, our soul saw a world anew. During our explorations, caressing the earth with every small step, everything seemed to be unknown yet so beautiful. A drop of water or a leaf pirouetting as it danced in the wind was magical. Slowly, as the earth became more and more familiar, we shut down our vision.

There are some people who were born without sight, and there are others who personally choose to be blind. During Tz’ikin it is important to ask the question: what did I really see today? We were gifted with the vision of an eagle, so complete that it can have a panoramic sight, yet zoom in on the details. In this modernity, we lost the practice of truly seeing the world around us. Let us reconnect with this value today.
