Mishpatim
1. In the midst of God's revelation at Mount Sinai, in this week's Parshah a seemingly unrelated tangent regarding civil law and torts is brought up.
2. Someone wrote a letter to a Rabbi, "Rabbi I studied the Torah and this is spirituality? What fork to use for meat and dairy, how to return a lost object? This is tiny hair splitting minutiae . As I can see you do not have an answer to my question as I have wrote you twice and you have not answered.
The Rabbi answered
3. I did answer your email, I just sent it to jason@yahoocom. I forgot the dot. What is the difference I figured it was just a small insignificant dot, minutiae. Of course a programer could explain to you how important the dot is and what it represents. It is not just an insignificant dot. The email did not reach you. So to with spirituality, the ramafications of the small details have profound effects.
4. We are unaware of the signfigance and interconnectivity of our everyday actions.
4. The juxtaposition of the most spiritual event in history with the laws regarding damaging property and caring for people's feelings highlights the fact that spirituality is not only found in the big mass revelations but is also found in our day to day activities.
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour
