Jackie lived his entire life helping others, almost always in secret. He didn't help others for his own honor; he just felt that everyone deserved as many chances as they needed to get things right.

May we learn from his example and always be willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

The Shofar

The shofar first appears in the Bible with the story of Abraham and Isaac. Abraham brings Isaac up to Mount Moriah as an offering, according to God's command. Just as Abraham is about to carry out his pain-filled mission, God directs him to a ram who had gotten its horns caught in the thistles. From that point on, the shofar, a ram's horn, has become the symbol of God's covenant with the Jewish people and their ultimate redemption.

"And it shall come to pass on that day, that a great shofar shall be blown..." Isaiah 27:13
