In the Torah, we learn something special.
A fire must always burn on the altar.
It must never go out.

But this is not only about long ago.
The altar is like our heart.

In your heart, a fire can burn too.
A fire of love for Hashem.
And a fire to do good things.

Sometimes you don’t feel so happy.
Or you feel far from Hashem.
That is okay.

That is when you keep the fire burning.
Even a small flame is enough.

A wise teacher, the Maggid of Mezritch, said:
When the fire burns,
bad things go away by themselves.

So what can you do?
Think about Hashem.
Do something kind.
Help someone.
Say nice words.

This is how your fire keeps burning.
Always, even just a little. 🔥
