Creating an opening for 'PEACE'


The idea of creating space for peace before asking for it is a profound concept. It suggests that peace requires preparation and intention. This aligns with the teachings of many spiritual traditions, including Judaism.

In Jewish practice, taking three steps back before saying “Shalom” (peace) during prayer symbolizes creating a physical and mental space to invite peace into one’s life. This act of stepping back can be seen as a way to pause, reflect, and prepare oneself to genuinely embrace and offer peace.

Rabbi Zachs’ reference to this practice highlights the importance of intentionality in seeking peace. By creating an opening, we make room for peace to enter and flourish.

Does this resonate with your understanding or experience of peace in your own life?
