Shownotes

Welcome to a most uncharacteristic episode of Rabbi E in 3! I recorded it, even though it was not "the perfect time" (whatsoever) to do it. Not at all! And that's exactly the lesson I want to convey, in fact, and it happens to be a HUGELY important one: We shouldn't wait for the "perfect time" to start to work on a self-improvement project, OR to do a certain kind deed or mitzvah we've contemplated...or to study Torah! As the great Rabbi Hillel tells us, in a classic ethical teaching that I quote in the episode: "Don't say, 'When I am free, I will study; for perhaps you will not become free.'" That free time, that perfect time, may never--or more likely, will never--come! And it may just be G-d's intention for us to do that good deed, or start that self-improvement project, or dive into that (even brief) Torah study session anyway. Right now...BECAUSE it is not the perfect time!
