Este Shabat, los hermanos Brandon y Monica, hijos de Jonathan y Stephanie Kaufman, serán llamados por primera vez a la Torá asumiendo de esta forma su condición de adultos en el seno del pueblo judío.
Compartimos unas reflexiones de Brandon sobre su parashá:
The Hebrew word for Egypt is Mitzrayim, but this is also the word for limitations and boundaries because we weren’t able to serve our G-d in Egypt or be free. One way I took myself beyond the normal limitations and boundaries of most other kids my age is by taking an advanced math program through Johns Hopkins University in the United States.
I am sure that I will encounter many obstacles and difficulties in my life, and just like the difficulty I had with the advanced math program, I am sure that I will find a way to solve dilemmas and challenges that arise. I will also take the high road, meaning that I won’t take shortcuts or compromise my values or principles, but instead work hard and persevere.
También Monica reflexionó sobre la lectura de la Torá
We learn that sometimes it is possible to do the impossible. We see that in this week's portion, Batya, the daughter of Pharaoh, saw baby Moses floating in a basket down the Nile river. She wanted to save him from drowning, and even though he seemed imk'possibly out of reach, she stuck out her arm to try anyway. G-d miraculously gave Batya the power to reach Moses. When it comes to doing something good, for ourselves or for others, even if it seems to be out of reach, we shouldn't give up. We should try our best and let G-d do the rest. We are often amazed to see how much good we can accomplish, if we are only willing to try.
Mazal tov para Brandon, para Monica y para toda su familia.
