Hakol Tzrichin Mazal Afilu Sefer Torah SheBeHeichal

Chazal say everyone needs mazal - even a Torah in the ark. We all need mazal in a way similar to how a Torah needs mazal. A Torah becomes invalid when its flaws are noticed. We don't seek the flaws out. A lucky Torah does not have its flaws announce themselves. We all have imperfections and need mazal to have them not manifest themselves in such a way as to get us "pasuled." May we all be so blessed.

Just wanted to let you know that my art blog still lives, but the private blog I was maintaining for a while is on hiatus. No biggy... Just didn't want you to worry if you looked for it and couldn't find it.

Our loss. Thanks for letting me know. Hope you are well.

While I'm here in the comments I just want to credit the idea in this post properly, it's from Rabbi Berel Wein.
