"[O]ur ancestors understood time differently. From the weekly rhythm of #Shabbat to the annual cycle of holidays, #Jewish tradition teaches us to create sacred containers of time. But how could I, a 21st-century professional juggling multiple responsibilities, implement this ancient wisdom?

The answer came from an unexpected source – my grandmother's old mechanical kitchen timer, discovered while cleaning out my kitchen drawer. Its simple mechanism reminded me of a teaching I'd once heard about the #BaalShemTov, the founder of #Hasidism, who taught that every object contains divine sparks waiting to be elevated through #mindful use."
