Imagine…

You are playing chess with your sibling one afternoon. You begin to set up the pieces on the board: the King, the Queen, the Rooks, Bishops, Knights, and pawns. As you are about to finish, you realize you are missing one of the white pawns. Oh no! Maybe you could still attempt to play… but it won’t be quite fair or the same if you do. Even though the pawn is only one piece – and perhaps the simplest – you realize it serves an important role in the game.

Delving Deeper

People come in all different shapes and sizes. Some are great at learning, others at Davening, and still others at helping their parents, friends, or siblings. Some seem to excel in all of the above, but some don’t seem to be great at any Mitzvah in particular. We may be led to think that such a person is not as necessary as the others, or that being great in one particular area of Torah and Mitzvos is the most important of all.

Shemos Rabba 40:3But the Mitzvah of Lulav and Esrog teaches us that every single type of Jew has a role to play. Every one of us is necessary and important. Each one of the types in the Daled Minim set represents a different type of Jew, and if even one of them is missing, we can’t do the Mitzvah. Similarly, if even one Jew is missing we are not whole. We cannot become our best selves without the help and influence of others.

Point to Ponder

Think of someone different from you in the area of Yiddishkeit. What is one thing you can learn from them?
