YEHOSHUA'S REFLECTIONS
Driving along the shores of the Dead Sea at sunset, my wife and I noticed these sprouting palm trees on the side of the road. I don’t think either of us would have assumed that there could be a flourishing farm of trees next to the lowest and saltiest place on earth known for its lack of life within. I see the trees ascending from the depths of the world, sprouting higher and higher as a reflection of this line in Psalms: "From the depths I call to You, Hashem!" (Psalms 130:1). From the lowest depths, these trees are still able to sprout up to their full potential. So too, the Torah teaches us that from our lowest point and biggest failure truly comes the greatest success. Whenever I am feeling at my lowest, like I am not growing or achieving what I want to be, I remember this teaching and think of this photo to remind me that this ‘descent’ is what will bring about the ultimate ‘ascent’. However, it is the recognition of this descent and the drive to ascend, to call out to a Higher Power for help, that allows me to grow.
