Although he survived many wars, one day a poisonous arrow shot at him was lodged in his heel, causing his demise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have our own heel stories, when Jacob grabs hold of Esau, trying to catch up with his twin brother, and even earlier when God tells Adam about the animosity between him and the serpent, an animosity which would be expressed in the heel. The heel, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">akev<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is \u201cpivotal\u201d. That\u2019s why his relative word <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ekev<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is often translated as \u201cbecause\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The snake, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nachash<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, on the other hand, shares its root with<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lenachesh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 to guess, also \u2013 to use hidden tricks and magic, that is \u2013to rely on something unstable, \u201cslithering\u201d. The animosity between the snake and our heel can be therefore symbolic of us being hurt in our most vulnerable spot by doubt by something small, slippery, that we can\u2019t quite get our hands on. For example, when hiking, we most often don\u2019t trip because of a huge mountain but because of a small rock on our path. We don\u2019t make a 1000-piece puzzle beautiful because of one big piece in the middle, but because of connecting lots of small pieces. And it\u2019s so aggravating when one is missing, just one small piece!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDon\u2019t sweat the small stuff and it\u2019s all small stuff\u201d, says a catchy phrase on a magnet in a souvenir shop, but really??<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our life is more often made of little details coming together: this minor decisions, plus that small issue; that turn in the road along with this other incident, which brought us to where we are today. It\u2019s not that I think the Torah advocates for us to be petty; it wants us to be \u201clarge\u201d and have \u201cvision\u201d and see the \u201cbig picture\u201d, but it also wants to remind us to pay attention to the details in our life. Because that is how the big picture is made.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":49909,"id":49909,"title":"dt7-jigsaw","filename":"dt7-jigsaw.png","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/dt7-jigsaw.png","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/do-sweat-the-small-stuff\/dt7-jigsaw\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"dt7-jigsaw","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":49906,"date":"2019-02-20
