Emes means truth.
In life we strive to find emes in everything we do. It’s not just to find the truth, but it’s also to find meaning. We strive for a life that’s filled with purpose. The first thing I do when I wake up is daven. Every morning I post a picture of my daily prayers. I convey my thanksgiving to the one above for everything that I have, and everything Hashem does for me. In my prayers it’s a constant reminder that Hashem is the truth. Hashem is my G-d and Hashem is one.
I’m proud to be a Jew. I’m proud of my roots and that I get to wear a kippah on my head every day. I’m proud I get to put on tefillin and be part of our amazing religion. Life is so much more than me and as a Jew I realize that. For so many years Jews had to hide who they were; they had to practice and pray in hiding. Today we have the land of Israel with a strong army and finally a way to defend our people and our nation. I am lucky to be able to walk on the street with no shame and no guilt of who I am. I will always fight for this right. I will never forget what my ancestors fought to get to this point in our history. This is my truth and this is my emes.
