Inverse life is possible!

People who are reading this blog long enough know that there is a bit of saga with a new shule in our neighborhood. So this past Shabbos I couldn�t overcome my craving for the potatoes bathed in mayonnaise and wondered in to have a taste into the "old one".

And it finally dawned on me what a wonderful place is our little shule. One MIT kid taught me an expression "inverse proportion". He used to say that "girls are beautiful in the inverse proportion to the center of the MIT campus�" Eureka, let me explain.

Imagine there would be a place in the world where you can become what you can�t be in real life. Say you dream of being an artist but you are color blind. See in your mind's eye a place where you can become an artist once a week if you wanted too. Wow! It�s like all powerful Edgar Hoover dressing up as fragile girl once a week. Magic!

So is out little shule, it is in inverse proportion to the strengths of the people. A shy person who is quite and reserved insists on making all the announcements. A person who has a hard time managing his lunch box is adamant about being on all the boards. A person who can�t hold a tune if you put a gun to his head insists on starting every nigun. An obedient husband becomes a General in charge of an army. A spiritual constipate becomes the well of knowledge. A person for whom coherent communication is a Himalayan Mountain feels like Walter Cronkite for a fleeting moment never mind that for others this moment feels like an eternity. A person whose business achievement in the "real world" is blaming the other party becomes a top executive Donald Trump. What a great magical garden. Yes inverse life is indeed possible, even for a miraculous day a week. Boruch Hashem.
