Gan Eden

A few years ago I pulled into a gas station here in Boca and came across a FL license plate that said Gan Eden. It's funny, and I can see why that person loves it here. But one of the side effects of this move has been to remind us not to get too comfortable or settled, no matter how nice our Galut at times may be. Our real home of course is in Eretz Yisrael. In about an hour we will pull out of Boca and begin the drive to Texas. We were supposed to leave last Monday but were delayed due to all the flooding in the FL Panhandle from Tropical Storm Debbie. Anyway, I want to give one last Bracha before we depart. Boca may not be Gan Eden, but it has always been a Gan, a lush garden where people grow. We have seen so many individuals and families grow here, and thank God, we have grown here tremendously as well. So my bracha to all of us is to never stop growing. Enjoy the Eden, but never forget the Gan.
