It's never too late

Yesterday was Pesach Sheni, the second Passover, where those who could not bring the Pesach offering in the times of the Temple had a second chance…

Of course, the message is timeless: there is always another opportunity to do a good deed, to fix what you have broken, to pursue your dream…

So it’s never too late to learn to speak Greek (replace with Hebrew if applies :) and to appreciate the taste of ouzo. It’s never too late to admire the sunset in Santorini, to learn Greek folk dance, to quit smoking (hint, hint…), to arrange my photo albums since 2002, be in touch with my childhood friend, start exercising, study Kabbala…

For LY the baby, it’s not too late to start sleeping at night ;-)

And I’m exemplifying this important attitude right now: even though Pesach Sheni is over, it’s never too late to post about it and get inspired...

Nice post, indeed it's never late. Though I must admit that time is often our worst enemy. :)

Shlomo HaMelech (Solomon The King) in his Mishlei (Proverbs) made it quite clear that there is a time for planting and a time to reap that which has been planted. As Shavout approaches and we are about to figurativey once again receive The Torah it is a very important time for the entire Greek Jewish community at-large to once again embrace and commit themselves to return to the observance of the fore-fathers. The grass does not grow greener on the other side it is much greener on our side. No, it is never too late, for HaShem is always waiting for us to return to His house with open arms.
There is a story told about a very special Rosh HaYeshiva (head of a yeshiva) HaRav Ben Tzion Abba Shaul,ztk"l who had been a phenomenal Torah scholar and befriended all who met him. He and his wife had childless for many years. When young people would come to him for a bracha (blessing) and say that they were coming back to observance he would kiss them, cry and say, "welcome home, we have been awaiting your return." Time is a wastein' HaShem is awaiting your return with open arms - don't disappoint Him or yourself. The time is right and it is NOW!!!
