Many years ago, a friend and his wife learned they would not be able to have their own natural born children. They decided to adopt. It took the patience of a judge for them to move through the process, but they finally succeeded.

They imagined an infant from the beginning. An infant, they thought, would be perfect and know them as parents from the outset. What they received were not one, but two, young boys. These boys were anything but infants and anything but perfect. They had been abused by their drug-addicted parents. The boys arrived with mental, psychological and emotional baggage.

But, my friend and his wife were steadfast in their parental duties, long-suffering in their love for these two boys through formative years of school expulsions, arrests, juvenile detention and one heart-wrenching problem after another.

My friend once told me, “As hard as it has been, our faith has grown alongside these boys. The experience may have given us insight as to how God feels watching us grow!”

Adoption meant these boys received far more than a new last name and safe place to stay. They were adopted into a family. They were forgiven even when they didn’t deserve it. They were loved. They survived.

Did you ever wonder what would have become of baby Moses had he not been adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter or what would have happened to Hadassah, the beautiful young woman who became Queen Esther, had she not been adopted by good ole Uncle Mordecai?

Moses likely would have been drowned with the other male babies. Hadassah probably would have been killed with the rest of her people. The course of human history and the development of Judeo Christian faith traditions would at the very least be different were it not for God’s plans for adoption.

What are God’s plans for adoption today?

There are thousands of children in South Florida in need of physical adoption. If you are able, then I encourage you to consider adoption, But, the truth is, we all have need of adoption, just an adoption of a different, more permanent, kind.

The Apostle Paul says it this way: “Even before God made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ….” [Ephesians 1:4- 5, NLT]

Our most important adoption is made possible by the cross, not by the courts. There is no lengthy legal process. We consent to our adoption when we accept Christ as Lord.

No perfection required. None of us remain innocent as a newborn child. We all have baggage. None of us are always loveable, and we may not deserve forgiveness, but we all can have it through Christ.

Pray God continues to be steadfast and longsuffering with the open loving arms of adoption, patiently watching us grow and accepting us into the family.

Ever think about adoption? I hope so because the most consequential adoption you will ever think about is your own …

(Great thanks to Rabbi Jacqueline Mates-Muchin for getting the creative juices flowing.)

I know you probably weren’t expecting a Rabbi to bring up Valentine’s Day, but, in case you haven’t figured it out in reading my columns here in The Observer, I am a romantic at heart. So, when I studied the Torah Portion the other week, I couldn’t help but find connections between them.

This Torah reading gave a description of the special clothing, the Kohanim, that Aaron and his sons were to wear. Since Valentine’s Day was coming up, many ads were pushing clothing and jewelry. They showed items of adornment that can be worn on the head, the neck and on the wrist. Why are these items shown as gifts for Valentine’s Day? Well, aside from the fact that the stores are hoping to make lots of money, hopefully, these types of gifts are a way of telling someone you love that they are special to you.

After all, I would not advise you to get the love of your life a new vacuum or a new mop along with a Cupid Card. Why? Because that would not be a very good way of saying that they are special.

So how does this connect with the Torah Reading? Well, for that, we have to look at why Aaron and his sons had special vestments to wear and I can think of no better way of finding the answer then looking at that last piece of the coordinated outfit, the frontlet that the priest was to wear on his forehead, because that piece was inscribed with the words “Holy to the Eternal.”

Of course, reading this, you might think for a moment that only the Priests were special to G-d, that only the priests were to be holy. But we are told to be “A Kingdom of Priests …”

In other words, we are all supposed to be special and we are all supposed to be holy. We are also supposed to emulate G-d. If G-d feeds the hungry, then we are to feed the hungry. If G-d clothes the naked, then we are to clothe the naked. And, if G-d finds people holy … if G-d loves others, then we to are to find people holy and love them.

Now, please don’t get me wrong, in Judaism we are not exactly fond of tattoos, so I am not suggesting that you have your loved ones tattooed on the forehead with the words “Holy to me.” But, I would suggest you try this to add to the holiness and the love in your life … each time you look at those you love, imagine those words on their forehead. Remember that we have the ability to decide what is holy and special to us.

In a perfect world, we would all be special to one another; but, for now, having just celebrated Valentine’s Day, at least see those words on your spouse, on your parents, on your children and then let those words change how you treat them.

Before you do something like getting angry or giving the silent treatment, before you tell them you don’t have time for this or that, don’t just imagine the words “Holy to me” on their forehead. Show them how Holy they are to you and show them how very much you love them as, when you do, you truly show them that they are consecrated unto you.

JEREMIAH 29:11

11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

NLT

God has a plan for you and He wants to help you and give you hope. We all plan and build our lives around things. We plan around all of our extracurricular activities: dinner, dancing, sporting events, gym, golf, tennis, etc. We plan for death by making a will to make sure everything goes to the right place. We plan for our vacation by making sure we know where we are staying and what activities we will be doing. We even plan the times we are going to certain places and what rides we want to go on in the amusement park. When we get ready to build something, we get a set of blueprints or plans done to know what we want to accomplish. There is even a plan for the plumbing, the electrical and for the walls.

God has a plan for you because He loves you and cares about you. God wants you to be blessed and happy. If God has a plan for you, because of His love for you, then make sure you do the same for those you love. Valentine’s Day is here and I want to encourage you to plan a special day because of the love you have for others in your life. We plan so many things in our lives that we need to make sure we have a plan to make Valentine’s Day special and memorable. It is that time of the year when we can let those who are special to us know exactly how we feel. Valentine’s Day is not only about romance, but it is also about love. Love comes in many different forms in our lives and we usually use it for not so important things. I could say that I love my wife, my children, my parents, going to church, eating out, buying electronics and my job. That would actually mean something a little different for each one on my list, but we all tend to use the word “LOVE” for many different things. Let’s all show those who are special to us how much they mean to us by telling them we love them and also telling them why. I know sometimes it is hard to express our emotions, but it is OK; it is Valentine’s Day, after all.

Just do it, and make a plan to go buy your cards, candy and flowers (today) ahead of time, and do not wait until the last minute. Plan now and make sure those people in your life know that you love them and make sure they know why you love them. Let God be our example and plan for those we love the same way He has a plan for us. The plan doesn’t work if you don’t work the plan. God has a plan for your life and now you have a plan to follow God and to tell others that you love them.

Yitro was a complex man, living in complex times, in a complex neighborhood. Sounds pretty complex doesn’t it? Do you recognize the words I just used? They are the same words that Vice President Joe Biden used at Ariel Sharon’s funeral.

Yitro is indeed a complex man. He is a priest of Midian. Some would say Yitro was the first convert to the Jewish Faith as after hearing of Israel’s liberation, Yitro went to join the Children of Israel. But his words are that of someone who still believes in many gods as he tells Moses that the G-d of Israel is surely the most powerful of all the gods. So you see, Yitro is a complex man where theology is concerned.

He is also complex as a father and as a father-in-law. He takes his daughter and grandchildren away for a time; some say because Moses was going to war, others say because Moses was so busy with his work. But, it is also Yitro who brings them back to Moses. As I said, Yitro is a complex man. Yitro loves his daughter and his son-in-law. He watches Moses and what does he see? He sees that Moses is busy at work from dusk to dawn. He takes him aside. He lets him know that he has taken on an impossible task. He lets him know that he is working so hard that he is endangering his own health. He lets him know that his working such hours is damaging his marriage and he is also missing out on the joy of watching his children grow, and the children are missing out on quality time with their father.

He goes on to tell him that when you have used up all your brain power you can make mistakes in judgment, and when you have used up all your physical stamina, you just can’t think clear enough to make proper decisions.

Let’s put this in terms we can all understand. If you had to have surgery, would you prefer to have the surgeon do the operation first thing in the morning when he is all rested and ready to face the day, or would you rather be the last surgery of the day after the surgeon has already had to perform more surgeries than were originally scheduled, as there were some emergency cases … and the doctor is exhausted and has not had enough to eat or drink, and has been standing on his feet all day with his back bent over the surgical table? I think you get the idea.

As I look back over the story of Yitro and as we read the Aseret Hadibrot, the Ten Commandments, in this very same Parsha, I cannot help but see that the first commandment is shouting out loud and clear — If you think you can do it all by yourself, then, my friend, you think you are G-d … and let me be the first to tell you that while each of us may go through a period where we think we can do it all on our own, it won’t be long until the body begins to show symptoms of doing too much. It won’t be long until the brain is not functioning up to full capacity … decisions you make will be affected, and your family will be affected as well.

And remember this — just as you need somebody. Somebody needs YOU. “Everybody needs somebody sometime.”

Shalom my friends,

Has your life gotten off course? Do you wake up in the morning feeling like you should be doing something different with your time, something more? Do you want to find your purpose and accomplish your dreams, but you just aren’t sure how to get started – or how to get started again?

Growing up, most of us have a clear mental image of how our future is going to unfold. We study and work toward that image, convinced we’ll eventually end up with the life we’ve envisioned. But, at some point along the way, many of us get off track. Things don’t go the way we thought they would. Circumstances throw up roadblocks and detours. Eventually, we realize that our vision isn’t lining up with our reality. We aren’t where we want to be.

When we’re staring down disappointment, unfulfilled potential and lack of direction, our minds inevitably turn to questions of purpose and significance. Even if we haven’t considered God’s will much in the past, we begin thinking about His plan for our lives and how it intersects with our daily to-do-lists. If we’ve always been cognizant of God’s will, we start wondering if we’ve missed it somehow.

Does God have a specific plan for your life and mine? Does he care if you’re a doctor, a rock star or a stay-athome parent? Does he care where you live and who you marry? Questions about the extent of God’s involvement in our daily decisions have been debated for centuries. They’re at the heart of the age-old discussion concerning the interplay between God’s sovereignty and our free will. While these questions are deeply nuanced and make for interesting theological conversation, suffice it to say that God does care about the details of your life – and he wants to be involved in those details.

God wants nothing more than for you to know his purpose for you and align yourself with it. When you do, he can bless you abundantly and direct you into the life he has in store. As Scripture explains: The Lord says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.’ (Psalm 32:8)

If you are struggling with a lack of direction and purpose, rest assured that God has more in store for you than the life you are currently living. He wants to advise and guide you. He wants you to know his will.

What is God’s will? Simple: God’s will is the highest and best plan for your life. It is the direction you would choose if you could see things from His perspective. In your own understanding, you operate with limited information, but God already knows how your story plays out in its entirety. He has the master plan, and he wants to lead you down the best path to all that is in store for you.

You have a choice to make. You can either stumble through each day, filled with the stress and uncertainty that come with operating in your own power, or you can choose to invite God into your decisions and intentionally surrender your life to His will. Submitting to God’s will doesn’t mean things will be perfect. There will still be valleys, but they won’t be as low. And the peaks will be even higher. When you ask God to begin directing your steps, you will finally begin to experience the satisfaction of living the life you were created to live.

Did you know you can be lost and found and not even know who you are?

This is exactly what happened to 200 French soldiers at the end of World War II. The soldiers were suffering from amnesia when they were released from POW camps.

Doctors thought determining their identity and reuniting them with families and friends would be vital to their recovery, so a massive effort to identify the unknown men was carried out.

The Red Cross was able to identity most of the men. To determine the identity of the remaining veterans, photographs of the few dozen remaining unknown men were published in newspapers throughout France. Then the public was invited to a gathering at the Paris Opera House.

On the evening of the gathering, each man whose identity remained unknown walked on stage, one at a time, and asked a simple question, “Does anyone know who I am?” Each man was then seated in hopes someone would know them.

Most people believe it was a miracle each man was eventually identified and reconnected with family and friends.

The prophet Ezekiel speaking for the Lord says, “I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. … I will seek the lost, bring back the strayed, bind up the injured and strengthen the weak…” (Ezekiel 34)

When God commits to seek after us then we can be found even if we think we don’t want to be, even if we don’t know we’re lost!

One example happened just a few weeks ago when record-setting cold temperatures inspired news coverage of the cold weather’s impact on the homeless. In the middle of the cold spell Jacqueline Martin, an Associated Press photographer, was dispatched into the heart of our nation’s capital to find and photograph the homeless.

She photographed a young homeless man on a park bench named Nick. Nick’s photo ran prominently nationwide and ironically this photo led to his reunion with his family near Rochester, New York.

The reunion is ironic because Nick declined to give the photographer his last name when asked to do so. He knew who he was. He just didn’t consider himself lost and he didn’t want to be found, but he was lost and he was found.

For many people, the despair in being lost is thinking no one cares, thinking no one is looking for them, but Christ seeking after the lost is a central part and promise of the Gospel.

Whether you’re lost mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually, maybe you’ve forgotten who you really are even if you don’t know you’re lost or you don’t want to be found, you still have the assurance of knowing Jesus is always seeking after you …

Jesus says, “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’” (Luke 15: 4 – 6)

Join us this Sunday morning for informal chapel worship at 8:30 or sanctuary worship at 11. The message “Lost and Found” is based on the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 15.

I had a dream. I saw manna falling from the sky, but rather than it just being manna, it was falling as my favorite foods … that’s right, chocolate and corned beef on rye. Oh, my!

And, as if that wasn’t odd enough, everyone else in the dream had their favorite foods falling from the sky as well … and when the brisket started to fly, well, I had to cover my head or I was going to wind up getting injured by a whole roast turkey or a side of beef. I didn’t have an umbrella handy in the dream, but, thank goodness, I did happen to have a helmet. No, wait, it wasn’t a helmet. It was a metal kippah, a yarmulke.

Well, I woke up from that dream and headed into my office to turn on the computer and what do I see? I see a story about food, and the title of the article seems to have misspelled Yarmulke; but, as I look again, I see that it is not a misspelled word at all. It is a story not about food and a yarmulke, but, rather, about Yarmouk and the Palestinians in that particular refugee camp who are literally starving to death … and not via hunger strikes … but by leaders of a government stopping food and aid from getting into the Yarmouk Refugee Camp.

Can you hear the world screaming about how awful Israel is for doing this? Have you heard about all the special meetings at the U.N. condemning Israel for treating the Palestinians in such horrific fashion?

Oh, wait a minute … Yarmouk isn’t in Israel, nor are the Palestinians who are starving to death. Yarmouk is in Syria. That’s right, Syria is showing just how much they care about their beloved Palestinian brothers and sisters, and they are doing so by allowing them to starve.

Many of us keep our head covered with a yarmulke during the day or at least during prayer. It reminds us that HaShem has us covered, and, as Children of G-d, we try to emulate Him so now we cry out for those in Yarmouk to let them know that HaShem not only has us covered; but, through our acts, He has them covered too.

And now, let me get back to the manna for a moment … at least the manna in my dream … as it included beans, stuffed cabbage and all manner of things that can make one suffer from what Barry Fitzgerald would refer to as a wee bit of the winds …

Don’t be surprised if Israel will also be blamed soon for giving the Palestinians a lot of gas … only it’s not what you think … You see, the PA electric company just signed a $1.2 billion deal with Israel’s Leviathan group that will produce power for the West Bank in a new $300 million plant. This natural gas will be used to light up the life of those in the West Bank with a great source of electric power.

And, you should know that the Israeli Gas conglomerate is holding similar talks to supply this natural gas to Jordan’s Hashemite Kingdom. Baruch HaShem.

So there you have it my friends, Yarmouk … Yarmulke … HaShem … HaShemite …

What a wonderful world it would be if only we could remember that we all stem from the same Source. Maybe, just maybe, if we remembered that, we would feed each other and keep one another covered.

It is a new year and that is always a good time for us to evaluate our lives and all the things we like and do not like that is a part of our lives. I am so grateful that God loves me enough to allow me to start over whenever I mess up and make a mistake. With God, I do not have to wait until New Years Eve to start over or to start something new in my life. God allows me to start new every morning if need be. Some things in life we want to (or need to) change are easy and we have no problem at all making the change. However, we all know that there are some things in life that are very difficult to change in our lives. Some things in life feel like we have been struggling with for years but we can do it. God will give us the help we need to become victorious over things that we may tend to struggle with and have a hard time changing.

Philippians 4:13

13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. NLT

If I can encourage you to do anything different this year, it would be to go to church, to read your Bible, and to pray and talk to God. If you already do those things, then, I want to encourage you to do those things a little more and also, at the same time, encourage someone else to join you. I know, at times, we do not like change; but, I think that change can be exciting and fun.

We are very thrilled about changes at our church starting in January. Right now, we have church services on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. and we are adding a new service on Saturday nights at 6:30 p.m. Many people have to work on Sundays now, so we wanted to have an alternative in our weekend services for people to choose from. We are also delighted to be adding home group Bible studies during the week for our members to be able to have an opportunity to discuss topics from the weekend services and to connect with other church members by building trusting relationships. It is always exciting when God adds something to your life, and I am looking forward to starting our Saturday night services. This Saturday will be our very first service we are having. We are very thrilled to meet new people and to have a great experience with God, and have Him change lives, help people with hurts and to introduce the God I know to some people who maybe do not know Him.

Please pray for us as we pray for you. I want to pray the following Bible verse over your life and I believe that, with God’s help, you can do the things you know you need to do, and have wanted to do in your life.

Ephesians 3:16

16 I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources, He will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. NLT

Do you believe in magic? Over the past few weeks, I have been asking this question? It all started with a commentary I was reading on a Parsha from the Torah, the one where Moses and Aaron go to Pharaoh; Aaron puts his staff down and it turns into a snake.

I don’t know about you, but if I saw someone do that, I would be pretty amazed. Yet, according to the Biblical account, Pharaoh is not amazed at all. In fact, according to Midrash, Pharaoh is rather bored with this feat.

And we find out why very quickly as he calls out the Royal Magicians and each of them is able to perform the very same magic trick. Better yet, according to Midrash, Pharaoh goes even further. He calls out his children and his wives and, they, too, are able to do this bit of magic.

How could this be? Well, for the very same reason that Pharaoh was not impressed at all with what Aaron had done. You see, magic was a regular everyday thing for the Pharaoh and his family. They were surrounded by magic tricks that were performed over and over again. They had seen them so many times that they were able to figure out how they were done. And because of that, those tricks had lost their magic.

I hear the word magic a lot, but I wonder how many miraculous things that occur all around us on a daily basis have lost their magic.

The funny thing is that, at the same time I was studying this chapter of the Bible, I found myself sitting with a patient in a health center when the doctor knocked on the door. As the doctor came in, I got up to give them some privacy, but as I headed out the door, I couldn’t help but hear the patient tell the doctor that he was having a problem with constipation and the doctor said, “Don’t worry, I will get you a pill that will work like magic for you.”

I don’t know if you are aware of it or not, but something as mundane as going to the bathroom is nothing less than miraculous; but, we seldom, if ever, see the magic of it until we have a problem with our plumbing.

In fact, traditionally we have a prayer that we say after using the bathroom, thanking G-d for the miraculous blessing of our urinary and our bowel tract working properly. The prayer might sound funny to many, but it sure reminds us of how amazing it is that our system works.

There is magic all around us, but we so often behave like Pharaoh. We have become so accustomed to being surrounded by it that we don’t even notice it is there. And that is why I started my Health Center Services the other week by asking if those in attendance would like to see a bit of magic.

When they said, “Yes,” I stood up from the chair I was sitting in and put out my hands dramatically and said, “Ta- Da!”

Those who were stuck in wheelchairs saw the magic. Those who needed walkers saw the magic. Those who had trouble standing saw the magic. They all knew how miraculous and magical the simple act of being able to stand is.

Dear readers, being able to hear is magical; being able to see – wow!— being able to walk – amazing — being able to talk – unbelievable— being able to dance –heavenly— the sun coming up each day —awe inspiring—the ocean waves — magnificently magical.

Do you believe in magic?

Shalom my friends, with wishes for a miraculously magical New Year!

“Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.”

(Matthew 1:23)

One of the least recognized lessons from Joseph in the Christmas story highlights the importance of change; the willingness to change when we should, stay the course when we should and the wisdom to know the difference.

We all have “God surprises” from time to time and it goes without saying that Mary’s surprise is unmatched in the history of humankind. The divine delivery speaks for itself, but Joseph took a good jolt himself and he eventually did exactly what he needed to do.

Change is hard once we are invested where we are, once we are invested in where we think we’re headed. How does the saying go? “The more we care, the longer we’re there, the less likely we’ll dare to change!”

You don’t have to live very long to learn the greatest blessings in the world involve God surprises. We had one of these God surprises and big changes in our family over Thanksgiving when our middle child announced she was going to have a baby.

How cool is that?

Talk about a big change that leads to a little blessing and a little blessing that that leads to a big change. Some of the more emotional people in my family get all teary in the eyes when they hear about this sort of God surprise. I only required a small towel…

Christmas is a great big God surprise, although it shouldn’t have been a surprise at all given the predictions… You know the story. Joseph and Mary are betrothed. They have wedding plans and they’re excited as any young couple would be. The families long-since approved. Nazareth is a small town. Word gets around.

Joseph and Mary are mentally, emotionally and personally invested when Mary turns up with child. Joseph may have been teary in the eyes, too, given the story told that Mary is still a virgin. How could that be true?

I personally think it would have been great if the angel appeared to Joseph back when the angel appeared to Mary. Gabriel could have just held a little premarital counseling session with the two of them and let them wrestle with the news about the baby together.

But God surprises have a way of happening the way God wants and not the way we want! And we’re left to wonder and believe, or not .

There is disbelief in Joseph’s first change of plans, which is to quietly send Mary away. This remains his plan until Joseph is shown an angel of his own. With the help of the angel, Joseph eventually has the right frame of mind. He changes when he needs to change and stays the course when he needs to stay the course. Ultimately, Joseph does what all of us are supposed to do. He uncrosses and opens his arms to the will of God.

Pray for God surprises in 2014, little blessings, big blessings and maybe even an angel or two to give us the wisdom and willingness to change when we need to change and stay the course when we need to stay the course. But be prepared to be a little teary in the eyes because God knows sometimes it takes a good jolt to change…
