METER MILES
[54a bottom] Gemarah: The ‘boundaries of Nehardea’ extend to as far as the “Kav” unit is used in measurements.
R’ Rosner: Jews who make Aliyah (the move to live in Israel) are considered ‘Israelies’ when they start thinking in kilometers instead of miles anymore.
D-E-ep Thoughts: We live where our minds are. No matter how we dress or what we do, we are ultimately defined by our thoughts and intentions. An environment and clothes ‘help’ to make the man, but a soul must be purified from inside out. We must do the actions that are demanded of us, but never forget to affix our hearts and minds to our Father in Heaven.
