Anyway, we need to reflect on what we went through yesterday. I and all of us need to be more tolerant when relating to our fellow Jews. Sure it sounds nice from the pulpit, however what will happen when it's hot, Im tired from work, and I need to do some last minute Shabbat shopping at the local kosher mart?
People darting around, cars cutting corners, speedy dashes to the exit, Jews blocking my way with their carts, while their little kinderlach dart hither and thither?
Yeah, have to quieten that Nazi inside me that says "Those silly people, dont they know how to shop in a civilized way?"
This is what we fast for, so we can overcome our arrogance and our burning desire to be the king and have everybody get out of the way for me!
May Hashem help me and all of us as we prepare for Ellul and Rosh Hashanah.
