		What does this verse teach us? That even in moments in our life when we feel “destroyed,” we have to remember that it is only the “above ground” part of us that has been affected and that “underneath” we still have an “awake heart”; a reservoir of goodness, inspiration, light, spirituality and godliness. May we all take this to heart and may these days be transformed to days of gladness and rejoicing. Rabbi Nosson Meretsky is the director of Chabad of Penn State. He can be reached at rabbi@psu.edu or 863-4929.
