In a society that offers so many diversions, it is very hard to stay on the path of one’s beliefs. The morals of the society are often at odds with those of the religious community. So many people say its no fun to stand for one’s beliefs.

There is “fun” in the confines of belief. The wonder, beauty and adventure are there for the experience. All one has to do is join together and proceed as one. A 14^th century rabbi taught: “Let us be one band, for we are all children of one man.”

The Bundle of Arrows

A certain king became sick and everyday his strength slowly left him. The king in his wisdom knew that he would soon be called to the World of Truth. He called for his children, his household and his kinsfolk and said to them: ^“My time is short and my last request I will now tell you. I will and bestow a way of life to you and instruct you to your benefit. Join together, help one another, band as one, make efforts, and let the lesser one among you obey the greater, while the greater shows mercy to the lesser. Let the one with knowledge teach the uninformed, while the uninformed accepts it from him with grace. Let the wealthy one give to the needy, and let the needy thank the one who aids him. Let the sinner confess to the one he has harmed and accept his pardon and atonement. For know that you will live united and perish if you are dispersed.^“

Then he told one of his knights: “Fetch me ten arrows.” And he brought them. “Grip them in your hand,^“ said the king. And the knight did so. Then the king ordered: “Use all your strength and break them together. And he used all his strength but could not break them. Then the king said: “Fling them to the ground.” And he did so.

Then the king summoned one of his smallest attendants and told him: ^“Take these arrows one by one and break them.^“ And he did so, and he snapped them all. Then the king turned to his sons and family and said: “You have seen what has happened to these arrows and how they could not be broken when they were united but were easily snapped when separate. Let this be a witness for you and a lesson in your mouths.”

In a holy text it is written: “watch the waters: when they flow together, they sweep along stones, trees, earth, and other things; but if they are divided into many streams, the earth swallows them up, and they vanish. So shall you also be if you be divided.”

Join to together in prayer, study the Holy words in one strong voice, share meals in fellowship and experience the greatness the Holy One, blessed be He bestowed on us all.
