From darkness, God calls forth brightness. The Hebrew word אור (Or) – oor – means "light." In Jewish thought, or is not just physical; it's symbolic of clarity, hope, and spiritual awakening. Every day, you encounter moments where light, new understanding, or hope breaks through.
Personal insight: Even in confusion or doubt, a flash of clarity can shift your entire perspective. Embrace those sparks as Divine gifts.
Reflection: Where have you noticed unexpected light in your day—an insight, kindness, or a gentle encouragement? Cherish that moment of illumination, however small.
