Life is about the people you meet.

Not all of them. Not every interaction or exchange or name you've forgotten by the time you get to the car. But the ones that stay.

The ones that shift something. The ones where you walk away different than you arrived sometimes in a way you can name, and sometimes in a way you just feel.

I think about this a lot. How a single person can open a door in you that you didn't know was there. How a conversation you didn't plan can become one of the ones you return to for years. How some people come into your life quietly and end up being some of the most important ones in it.

We don't always recognize it in the moment. Sometimes it takes time to understand what someone gave you just by being who they are in front of you. I have been lucky in this. Really lucky. And I don't take it lightly.

Shabbat Shalom,

Inbal

"A proposed #NewYorkState #law aimed at reducing #lightpollution could create a real problem for the state’s millions of #Jews, particularly on #Shabbos and #YomTov.

The “#DarkSkiesProtectionAct,” introduced in the State Senate by #Senator #BradHoylmanSigal, would require most outdoor lights across #NewYork to shut off between 11 pm and sunrise starting January 1, 2028.

The #legislation covers residential floodlights, building uplighting, commercial spotlights, and billboards, with the goal of preserving dark skies while “promoting safety for people, birds and other wildlife, conserving energy and reducing our carbon footprint.”

New York 'Dark Sky' Bill Could Put Frum Jews in a Bind | Anash.org

A newly proposed New York law could leave hundreds of thousands of frum homeowners across the state with no compliant outdoor lighting option on Shabbos and Yom Tov. One assemblyman is already keeping a close eye on it.
