In the big picture, the Judaism we know with all its branches stems from “Judah”, as in “Thank God we are alive.” We examine what I call the “Yisrael” “Israel” model which means to “wrestle with God”. It is an assertive interactive position. More than being “thankful”. It is what I call a “partnership” model with God.
In English, “time” is associated with “money” – and it is common to say “time is money”. In Hebrew, the word for time is zman. And the Hebrew word hizdamnut – from the root zman – means “opportunity”. The Hebrew sense of “time” has a different thrust than what we mean in English.
Judaism sees time as “precious” and even associated with God. Each minute becomes an “opportunity” to make a special moment – not to lose time, or associate time with money.
