The woman on the subway who suddenly fell forward when the car came to a stop explained in embarrassment, “I had nothing to hold on to!”
In our journey through life, we are frequently jostled as we take a curve, or halt suddenly. What do we “hold on to?”
Holding on to someone can be precarious since a person can fall, or move away. Some people hold on to their money to attain stability as life sways precariously. They think that by having a “bank balance” they will attain a spiritual balance. In fact, the surest anchorage in life is our confidence and trust in God, who is our rock and redeemer.
Our religious faith provides us with the greatest equilibrium. If you want something to hold on to, grasp the Torah, embrace the mitzvot.
We live in anxious and tense times, and we are in for a rocky ride…
Hold on!
