Rabbi Josh Fixler shares the story of a poor man named Itzhak travels from Krakow to Prague chasing a dream of buried treasure… only to discover that what he seeks has been under his own stove all along. This folktale, paired with themes from Torah portion Eikev, invites us to reflect on how journeys, perspective, and a bit of chutzpah can help us see the gifts already present in our lives.
In this reflection:
✅ The story of Itzhak and the bridge in Prague
✅ The miracle of the Itzhak Synagogue in Kraków
✅ How Eikev frames gratitude and faith in everyday life
✅ What it means to find “treasure” in our own homes and communities
Watch, reflect, and consider: Where might there be hidden treasure in your life that you’ve overlooked?
