Creating an opening for 'PEACE'
In Jewish practice, taking three steps back before saying “Shalom” (peace) during prayer symbolizes creating a physical and mental space to invite peace into one’s life. This act of stepping back can be seen as a way to pause, reflect, and prepare oneself to genuinely embrace and offer peace.
Rabbi Zachs’ reference to this practice highlights the importance of intentionality in seeking peace. By creating an opening, we make room for peace to enter and flourish.
Does this resonate with your understanding or experience of peace in your own life?

Charles Macnamara, Lumber Camps Photographer, Arnprior, Ontario Canada
Around late 1909 and early 1910, Macnamara built a log cabin to function as a stopping-off place he could use to study nature and the woods near Arnprior. Over the fireplace, he painted the Ojibway motto No-piming en-dad jawen-imid – "The dweller in the woods is always happy." This phrase later inspired the name of the Nopiming Game Reserve which was set up by Macnamara in 1920 near Arnprior so that the local and migratory wildlife would have a safe habitat. In August of that same year, he discovered and described a new species of Pseudachorutes (Collembola). He also spent 14 years observing and documenting a beaver colony near Marshall's Bay. The Macnamara Field Naturalist's Club, which was founded in 1984, was named after him.
He learned French and German, exchanged letters with European booksellers and scientists and took correspondence courses with Cornell University where he completed a science degree. While he participated in more social activities in his youth, most of his intellectual life took place over long distance and he became a recluse in his later years. This was made evident by the fact that he declined to meet a German scientist he had corresponded with when the scientist visited Montreal. Macnamara wrote many articles for the Ottawa Field Naturalist's Club and contributed to other publications such as the Canadian Field-Naturalist, the Journal of the American Museum of Natural History, and the British Journal of Photography.
