Mazel Tov on our completion of Mishnayos Bikurim and the entire volume of Seder Zeraim!!!
It certainly has been some journey, dating all the way back to early September 2018 when we initially started this program! I hold strongly in recognizing the value of the time one has in a day, and making the most of every minute. Small goals are the best way to climb the ladder of success. I believe there are a number of takeaways we can all learn from this accomplishment of getting to this point in the program. First would be the value of commitment. When a person commits to a small goal, not only is there the value of the final outcome they are achieving, but there is the added bonus of molding themselves into a different kind of person. Challenges that once seemed impossible to overcome now become possible. The second thing I believe we can focus on is The Compound Effect, which is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices. At first,10 minutes doesn’t seem like much, but when compounded consistently over time, its value grows to a size beyond our wildest dreams. We should never take for granted the small things we do. The last point I would like to address, is the actual accomplishment that we now have, the knowledge, and satisfaction of so many different mishnayos in Shas. We have completed Seder Moed, Seder Nashim, and now Seder Zeraim, that’s half way thru! It is our duty to study Hashem’s Torah. Not only are we expanding our horizons of Torah, but we are fulfilling the verse that we say twice a day in Shema, “Uvlechta Baderech” to learn on the road.
I look forward to continuing my journey with you as we begin to learn Seder Nezikin tomorrow!
