Our Past is Ever Present

Guest Blogger
Rav Eliyahu Safran

«Recalling the past is meaningful only when one is able to transfer the ahavah into a new chefetz.  Genuine and credible tears, memories, and emotions are an acknowledgment that the present has only been made possible because of its connection with the past, and that any future must likewise be connected with the present. Mourning and recalling those who preceded us, with their love and dedication, must include an acknowledgment that our present is not only their past, but also the future of the next generation.

The past, then, is the key to our future.»
