Winter Is Coming!
Tech Tribe Dispatch #71
💡 Think:
The heat of Summer is still upon us - we’re soaking in the hot days and and balmy nights . . . But already a change has begun. From the middle of the month of Av, this past week, the sun begins to set noticeably earlier. As Maimonides writes “even though it is a mitzvah to study during the day and at night, it is only at night that a person acquires most of his wisdom.”
Now is a time, as we enjoy those last moments of summer, to look inward and prepare for the power of the night.
