I cannot resist sharing this ‘message from Heaven’ of sorts.
The ‘grab’ car that came to pick me up today was literally brand new.
The driver spoke a mixture of Thai and English with me.
He was saying that he feels optimistic about things become better in the ‘pee mai’ which means ‘new year’ in Thai. The driver meant December. But obviously for us, ‘pee mai’ means tonight when the new year is ushered in.
Nice. Hashem sent me a new car, with a driver who is talking about a new year. Cool, as they say.
But it gets better.
The driver says in English ‘FUTURE BETTER’ and repeats it a few times ‘FUTURE BETTER’.
My mind converted the words ‘future better’ to Hebrew and the letters F and B as in פ and ב jumped out at me.
I couldn’t resist sharing it.
It’s a blessing that was relayed to me by an unsuspecting Thai taxi driver… . תשפ"ב may this year bring a FUTURE BETTER as in a BETTER FUTURE.
I hope it brings a smile to your face… the Rabbi hearing messages through taxi drivers?
Yes, Hashem is everywhere and messages of Divine Providence can come to us in every which way. It is only up to us to recognize G-d’s presence and to act as we would act in His presence.
And it’s a call to action. To become better in the future!!!
May WE become better in the future and may our future indeed become better.
And for those who recall that תשפ"א stands for פלאות אראנו may G-d show us wonders (Pei for wonders), then this year the ‘bet’ in 5782 can stand for ‘everything’ as in ‘may it be a wondrous year in every single aspect’ in absolutely everything פלאות בכל
The main reason I am writing to you today, is to send you my prayerful wishes for a good and happy year materially and spiritually.
In the traditional words, may you have a Ketiva Vechatima Tova, Leshana Tova Umetukah.
May you and your loved ones be written and sealed in the book of the righteous. For life, health, prosperity, peace at home, nachat from offspring and may the ultimate blessing of Mashiach coming be a reality NOW.
Rabbi Yosef & Nechama Kantor
