Dear Friends,
I’m sitting on my EL AL flight, with some time on my hands and looking for a good distraction from the kid yelling across the aisle. How long can I keep my noise canceling headphones on??
So I decided to mix it up a little this week and take a little poetic license for this week's article. Here goes:
IN G-D’S HOUSE
Are you more pragmatist or visionary? 
Do you see what you see
And decide accordingly?
Is the “reality” of reality your reality?
Are you guided by your eyes?
Or can you visualize
That sometimes what you see is just a disguise?
To see what your eyes don’t see
Is vision
In vision lives a story
A past, a future, that tell the story of now
And how you’re in it somehow
Not by chance
But by Providence
On this Shabbos Chazon
G-d grants us vision
Of His house
Suspended in Heaven
Waiting to descend
This vision may not be one your eyes can see
It appears on a different frequency
Open your soul and you’ll see it
Open your heart and you’ll feel it
Here you are now in G-d’s House
In G-d’s house
You feel safe, secure, healed
No need for coverups, for secrets concealed
In G-d’s house
Redemptive energy fills your being
You feel free to let go of ego
You are free of hate, jealousy, insecurity
You and me and he and she are happy to just be
In G-d’s house
You are one, you are whole
You are soul
In G-d’s house
You see your place at His table
Surrounded by souls and stories of the past
Humbled, you realize you are part of something so vast
In G-d’s house
You hear heartfelt songs of yearning
And joyous songs of returning
A symphony of souls sing in harmony
These are your people
This is your family
In G-d’s house
There is only love and there is only light
Peaceful vibes surround you, no reason to fight
In G-d’s house you matter
Your never go unnoticed
In G-d’s house there’s no shame
No reason to hide
It’s where you can be you
Fully present and alive
And G-d’s house
Is on it’s way down
Soon enough it’ll be
The only game in town
Let’s start living now
Like it’s already here
‘Cause that’s what vision looks like
Until G-d’s house will appear.
So, be the best you
And do all you can do
Your one Mitzvah, may be the one more Mitzvah
For exiles’ walls to fall
And when Moshiach comes, there you’ll be
Walking proud, standing tall.
Good Shabbos and Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Ruvi New
