📖 Parshat Vayeitzei This Week: Yaakov works 7 years of slave labor for Lavan just to marry Rachel. The Torah says those years felt 'k'yamim achadim', like a few days, because he loved her so much. Wait, shouldn't love make time drag? Every day should feel like eternity when you're waiting for what you want most. But here's the brilliance: 'yamim achadim' can also mean 'individual days.' Yaakov didn't stare at the mountain of 7 years thinking, 'I can't do this.' He broke it down: just get through today. Then tomorrow. Then the next day. When we face overwhelming challenges, we paralyze ourselves by looking at the whole mountain. Break it into steps. One day. One moment. Suddenly, the impossible becomes achievable. What mountain do you need to break into in days? Shabbat Shalom. 🏔️
