Loneliness, Unhappiness or Happiness
Loneliness after Chanukah during the winter months with no holiday until
Purim. This brings to mind various types of loneliness.
Such as;
Loneliness after observing a shiva when everyone has left.
Loneliness attending services in a shul without any friendships.
Loneliness attending a kiddush or any simcha with no one to talk to.
Loneliness for an almana, a widower or a divorcee.
The loss of having a close and meaningful relationship.
Shlomo HaMelech’s wisdom- the sword and the baby.
The importance of wisdom for a Rabbi, Rebbetzin and a Chaplain.
Knowing what to say, what to share, what not to say and what not to share.
A time for listening and a time to be in the present takes great wisdom.
Wisdom, chachma is something we are mispallel for.
