Editor's Note:
Dear friends,
Every relationship can use a good snowstorm. If the pile of snow behind your car and the ice on the streets force you to stay home and enjoy the company of those closest to you, then not only school children and their teachers should be thankful that "it's sticking." Curling up under a blanket on the couch, cups of hot chocolate, and four-hour-long games of Monopoly put you face to face with the beauty you have back at home.
This week we mark the 10th of Tevet, the day when the Babylonian army laid siege to Jerusalem in 425 BCE. The walls were breached and the city destroyed two and a half years later. This fast day is particularly sad because we had two and a half years to find our way out, and we didn't. Even sadder is that the solution may have been the siege itself. Being stuck with just each other, the inhabitants of Jerusalem had the opportunity to recognize and appreciate the unique qualities they each brought to the table, and maybe as a unified while diversified force they could have averted the looming calamities.
I'd say it's no coincidence that this is January, when snow in much of the northern hemisphere is inevitable. Maybe soon enough, when Moshiach arrives, we'll commemorate 10 Tevet and its meaning with a cup of hot chocolate.
Baruch S. Davidson,
Responder for Ask the Rabbi @ Chabad.org
