Devotions: Do the right thing 做对的事
Join us for an enriching event titled "Dignity of Artisan Labour" where we delve into the essence of service that transforms ordinary tasks into acts of excellence and self-mastery. This theme is reflected in today's Torah portion from Numbers 19:1 - 22:1, focusing on Moses' lapse in judgment when he struck the rock instead of speaking to it.
Artisan labour represents the remarkable gift of the hand, often referred to as kinaesthetic intelligence. It embodies the execution of God's will, performed precisely at the right time and in the exact prescribed manner, without any hesitation, unnecessary repetition, or deviation from the intended course.
Speak to the Rock and the rock will speak to you
