Rabbi Rami Shapiro Quotes

You get what you get, and then do your best with whatever it is.

From all those I may have hurt, I ask forgiveness. Upon all who have hurt me, I bestow forgiveness.   As a wave returns to the ocean, so I return to the Source from which I came. Shema Yisrael Adonai Elohenu Adonai Echad. Hear, O Israel, that which we call God is Oneness itself. Blessed is the Way of God, the Way of Life and Death, of coming and going, of meeting and loving, now and forever. As I was blessed with the one, so now am I blessed with the other. Shalom. Shalom. Shalom. RABBI RAMI M. SHAPIRO13

Most of the hurts we experience are not meant for us. They are by-products of the suffering others are feeling. The truth is that most of the pain and suffering we feel isn’t directed at us at all.

WELCOMING ANGELS In the arduous simplicity of this moment I open my heart, mind, and soul to stillness. In the deeper quiet I sense the greater Life that is my life. I do not live only; I am lived. I do not breathe only; I am breathed. I am not only the one I appear to be but also the One who appears as me. —rabbi rami m. shapiro

RENEWAL Imagine not that life is all doing. Stillness, too, is life; and in that stillness the mind cluttered with busyness quiets, the heart reaching to win rests, and we hear the whispered truths of God. —rabbi rami m. shapiro
