It is so easy to get caught up in our own worlds and become too distracted to connect with others. But it is specifically that connection which is essential to our well being. We were not created to get through life alone. That is why the first letter of the Torah is the letter beit which is numerically equivalent to two. We need others and others need us. So make the effort, today, to smile at a passerby, to strike up a conversation with a stranger, to reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Not only will it make their day, but it will make yours!
