Keeping A Sense Of Home When You Are On The RoadHow do you make a "home" when you are staying in a hotel or a
vacation spot?
Meditation:Mah Tovu Ohalecha Yaacov
Ritual:When you are packing for a trip, bring small things that symbolically represent home to you. This might be photographs, artwork, a book, a stone from your garden.
Blessing:Barukh shenatan shalom b’chaylaych
Teaching:Today the world is God’s hotel, in the world to come it will be
God’s home.
May there be peace within your walls, serenity within your
dwelling places.
Yehi shalom b’chaylaych
