So crazy story happened to me last night...
Im sitting in the subway waiting for my train while this young chinese lady came over to me and said, "wow thats so beautiful! What is that?" I was knitting a kippa with different shades of blue and white. I was taken a back because in NYC when does anyone ever stop to be friendly and havea convo with you. I mean come on, for sure in Eretz Yisrael, but in NYC? Anyways for some wierd reason she was fascinated and started asking me questions. I told her its called a Kippa. She asked me then why Jewish men have to wear it. I told her in a very simple way that Its there to remind us that there is a G-d above and it reminds us to act in a proper way. ....
Its so important to be Or la Goyim. We are always being watched even when we dont realize it. This was inspiring for me because it served as a reminder how chashuv it is to be proud of who we are and what we represent. Weather its reading tehillim on the train or davening Mincha in the corner of a department store. Thats how we can be mekadesh shem shamayim. Hey there a lot of Jews out there that you would never ever know are Jewish. Who knows if you secretley inspire a complete stranger on the street who happens to be your brother! Maybe it could be simply by always saying Good Morning or Good Afternoon. Chances are if your reading this you have a connection to Hashem. So go out there and show the world who we are and never be embaressed to do a mitzvah in public! Even when I am by myself outdoors and I dont think there are Jews around. You never no... So I still say a bracha outloud and maybe one day I will turn around to hear a loud AMEN from someone you would never guess was.....
