Consistency

I enjoy looking at data and figuring things out. The most important thing with any grouped information is consistency. Make sure that when you’re writing a number you are using the same format, whether it’s 1, one or I, keep them all the same.

There’s an argument in the midrash about which verse in the Torah is the most important. From the very first verse in Bereishis where it speaks about G-d creating the heaven and earth to the Shema, where it talks about the oneness of G-d.

The winning verse is about the daily sacrifice; bring a cow in the morning and a cow in the evening. This verse supersedes the others because the most important thing in a healthy relationship with G-d is consistency. Ensure that you do the things to build your relationship when things look good, in the morning, and when all you see is darkness on the horizon, in the evening. Surrounding events should not interfere with your connection to G-d.

If you don’t yet, light Shabbos candles and then make it a consistent behavior. Details at www.harfordchabad.org/candles

Wishing you a wonderful Shabbos.
