DAYENU
If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when? (R. Hillel, Ethics of the Fathers, 1:14)
Dayenu is a word we chant every Passover during which we express our gratitude for God’s deliverance of us from slavery and hardship. This many centuries later many still are not as fortunate.
One of the ways we express our gratitude for our lives is by helping others through acts of kindness, by giving of ourselves and our resources to those in need. We continually strive to make the world a better place through acts of Tikkun Olam by healing a world sorely in need of it.
R. Rabbah once said, Even though our ancestors have left us a scroll of Torah, it is our religious duty to write one for ourselves…(Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 21b).
Helping others is one of the essential ways we write our own Torah scrolls, by living our lives leaving an imprint on others.
