The Importance of שמות in Judaism: Due Monday Nov 2nd

This week we'll be learning about Shemos and the kedusha of the Name of HaShem. How much does your name affect who you are? Do you know of someone who's name is a big part of their identity? Watch the video below for inspiration: WHY is it so frustrating when this man "messes up" the workers names? https://youtu.be/XhBD1553fhk

What is your life "mission statement"?

Messilat Yesharim writes, "The foundations of saintliness and the root of perfection in the service of God lies in a man's coming to see clearly and to recognize as a truth the nature of his duty in the world and the end towards which he should direct his vision and his aspiration in all of his labors all the days of his life." 

Whats your vision? What are your aspirations?
