Yidden have no limits. No limits to the amount of money, time, or energy that we would use to help another Yid. Time is undeniably our most valuable asset, a currency we spend every day without replenishment. Its significance amplifies during seasons like this, where every minute becomes precious, urging us to prioritize wisely.
In this frenzy lies an opportunity to extend a helping hand, to give of our precious time to alleviate the burdens of others. Perhaps it’s volunteering to run an errand, tackling a portion of someone’s shopping list, or simply lending a listening ear amidst the chaos.
As we navigate the flurry of preparations, let’s remember that the most meaningful gifts often don’t come wrapped in fancy paper or adorned with bows. In a world where seconds tick by relentlessly, offering our time to cross something off another person’s list is a gesture of kindness that transcends material possessions, leaving a lasting imprint on hearts and minds alike.
