This is a story I learned, I wish I knew from where. Today is the first day of Passover, soo...When Akiba, who was on his deathbed, worried aloud to his rabbi that he was a failure. His rabbi moved closer and asked why; Akiba confessed that he had not lived a life like Moses. The poor man began to cry, admitting he feared God's judgment. At this, his rabbi leaned into his ear and whispered gently, "God, will not judge Akiba for not being Moses. God will judge Akiba for not being Akiba." Today, I am trying to be authentically myself. I am trying to be the best I can be. To Thine Own Self Be True!
