Transcript

Rabbi Isaac Mayer Alter taught that we are each created to perfect one particular thing,

Something that no other person is able to perfect.

This is what is meant by,

If I am not for myself,

Who will be for me?

So too,

Everything that needs to be done has its own particular moment in time,

And it is not possible to perfect it outside of that moment.

Rest your eyes,

Relaxing body and breath.

Take a moment to consider that you have one sole purpose in life,

Something that only you can bring to fruition in this world.

What would that purpose be?

If you are not for yourself,

Who will be for you?

As you breathe into your core purpose,

Notice how the interwoven nature of our world begs the question,

If I am only for myself,

What am I?

With another breath,

Solidifying that purpose,

Asking,

If not now,

When?

This is so powerful! I am weeping after this short meditation, and I don't know exactly why. It touched me so deeply. I need to spend more time with the ideas here. Thank you 🙏
