Rabbi Micah Lapidus Ed.D
When it comes to gratitude, I take my cues from Psalm 23: my cup runneth over. That’s my answer when it comes to thanksgiving. It’s also my answer when it comes to the age-old question of whether the cup is half full or half empty. If we pause and mindfully consider our lives and our world, it seems like an undeniable fact to me that our cup truly runneth over. There is more in this moment, in this hour, in this day, then we can ever fully recognize. For that reason, I choose not to count my blessings, but strive rather to notice and honor them.
Rabbi Michah Lapidus is director of Jewish and Hebrew Studies at The Davis Academy.
