A Biselleh Humor....
Shlomo is on the train reading a newspaper, when his friend Jacob walks in.
"Shlomo, why on earth are you reading a communist paper?"
"When I read the Jewish papers, all I find is Jews under attack, synagogues under attack, Israel under attack. But when I read the communist papers, what do I find? Jews control the media, Jews control the government, Jews rule the world.
Jacob, the communist news is so much better!"
Weekly E- Torah
In the land of Israel, during the Temple era, every farmer would take the first fruits of a tree to Jerusalem and give it to the priest, the kohen, standing next to the altar. This mitzvah, called bikkurim, was an expression of gratitude to G‑d for the abundant produce and the opportunity to live in the land of Israel.
But, in addition to handing the fruit to the priest, the farmer was obligated to make a verbal declaration. This statement was a short summary of Jewish history from the times of Jacob until the conquest of the land of Israel. The declaration emphasizes G‑d’s kindness and the miracles that affected our destiny.
While it is true that actions speak louder than words, there is an element of appreciation that is expressed more by our words than our deeds. Actions express dedication and commitment, but cannot convey warmth and emotion. When you give a gift to a friend as thanks for a favor, a well-written card strengthens the connection and generates more closeness than the gift itself.
As parents, spouses or friends, it is not sufficient to just do things for another person. Our love and care must be articulated with warmth and affection. We cannot appreciate a kindness done to us in our hearts only; we must express it with words of acknowledgement and thanks. Strong communication fuels the relationship and keeps the spark alive.
Tell those close to you how much you appreciate them every day. Set aside a few minutes to pray and thank G‑d for all of His blessings.
