There is something in the world the Bible regards as a symbol of G-d.
Not a temple.
Nor a tree.
Nor a statue or a star.
The one symbol of G-d is a human being, every human being.
G-d created humans in G-d's image.
Human life is holy, holier even than the scrolls of the Torah. Reverence for G-d is shown in our reverence for human beings.
Treat yourself as a symbol of G-d.
What is necessary is not to have a symbol, but to be a symbol.
-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
Be that symbol. Today.
