“There’s a spiritual concept that every little act that you do has an effect Above…”

We are seeing the Jewish world coming together in a way they never have before… [we are seeing] the unity of the Jewish people – how possible it is to let go of differences, to love each other no matter what…

Erica Schachne, editor of the Magazine, shared this thought about the outpouring of hessed:

‘As Below, so Above. There’s a spiritual concept that every little act that you do has an effect Above. Even if you think you’re helpless to influence the unfolding events breaking our hearts, one act of kindness actually impacts the world in a positive way.

Only when we ourselves enter the Above world will we watch the movie of our lives and see the endless ripple effects of our tiny – to us – thoughts and actions,’ she said.”
