You know what they used to do in they
were very hospitable but they had one
size bed fits all. You remember that
story? What if you were too short for
the bed? You remember what they did?
What if you were too short? They would
stretch your feet so you match the bed.
What if you were too long? What would
they do? They chop off your feet. Chop
off your head. Rabi say forgive me. It
seems to me sometimes that some of us
feel that Judaism has one size bed. If
you're too short, we'll stretch you. If
you're too long, if you're too creative,
you're too interesting, if you're too
out of the box, will cut, we'll cut your
creativity, we'll crush your
personality,
we'll destroy your ingenuity and
individuality
so you could fit the bed. But I ask you
a question. Doesn't it say hundreds of
times in Tanakh that God is not a model,
nor does he have an image? So why do we
insist that everyone has to look, think,
and be the same? We don't have to limit
our God and our Tyra in order to satisfy
our own insecurities.
