At the end of a family wedding, as the final guests left the hall, my brother was saying his goodbyes and, then, he saw my mother. She was sitting around a table with a nostalgic glow on her face. She turned to him and simply said:
"Stay a little longer. These moments doesn't last forever."
We've experienced epic holidays. As we put away our Shofar and Lulav and prepare to leave the Sukkah, we hear a voice from above. The Almighty whispers: "Stay a little longer." It may lack the grandeur and the intricacies of its fellow holidays, but Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, add a special and unparalleled sweetness and intimacy.
The band has left the hall and the guests have gone home. Now, we simply sit back and take it all in. Stay a little longer and savour the moment...
