What if your purpose is carrying something only you can lift?
This Chassidic tale from the Rebbe Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk reminds us that in the building of the Third Beis HaMikdash, every single person has a piece only they can carry. No one else can do your part. No one can carry your plank, your brick, your light.
In a world that tells us we’re small, this story says the opposite:
Your avodah matters. Your contribution is needed. Your load is part of the Geulah.
