Connecting to Family
Look at the rays of the sun, the further away they are from the center, the further away the rays are from each other. When the rays are further from the center, they are also further from one another. How can we come closer to members of our family, or even to other members of Klal Yisrael? Focus on what you have in common, rather than what is different about you. That is what will ultimately bring you closer to the Source. When you sit together as a family on Shabbos focus on mutual respect. That is what can bring individual and unique members of a family closer to one another, and thus, closer to G-d.
