We are rapidly making progress in the construction of our new Shul on the South Western Corner of PGA Blvd. and the Turnpike. Having concluded most of the exterior work for now with a water tight building, we have installed the interior framing of the walls 
and the wall roughs for the plumbing and electrical. All air handlers have been installed,copper condensing pipes have been run and 90% of the ductwork is now in.
Next week you'll be seeing the 18 (chai) windows and doors cut out on the perimeter of the building so that the interior framing can be finished.
It's so exciting to see so many members of the community pull up randomly just to 'kvel' and 'shep nachas'. This Shul is truly a community project and we all are its guardians.
Upon noticing all the copper pipes, thick insulation, aluminum sheets and duct work of the highest quality being installed, it truly got me thinking. Why should perfectly good money and time be wasted on things that no one will ever see, things that will forever to be hidden behind sheet rock and drop ceilings?!
The answer obviously, is that in order to have beauty on the outside, it is imperative to have beauty on the inside.
A truly beautiful person is one who is beautiful on the inside. Exterior garments and features are worthless if the interior is of inferior quality.
As the wise King Solomon states: 'Grace is false and beauty vain, but a thoughtful and sensitive woman, she is to be praised'. It is what goes on in our minds and hearts that is the real indicator of the kind of person that we are. It is the thoughts we think, the words we speak and the feelings we feel that attest to who we are.
How many minutes a day do you spend thinking? I don't mean reactionary thinking, I mean focused, quality, pro active thinking. Perhaps seconds?
Kaballah, and now modern science, tells us that the thoughts that we think are made of energy. They are real even though they are hidden. High quality thoughts effect high quality actions.
If we can spend tens of thousands of dollars on top quality drywall insulation and piping that never sees the light of day, surely we can realize the great power and potential that top quality thoughts and speech can have on the quality of our day to day lives. So go ahead and do an inspection on your soul, see how beautiful it is or if it may need some slight remodeling.
