Rabbi Silber's short Ki Teitzei message to YMC parents looks at the mitzvah of maakeh, building a fence around a flat roof, and shares an insight that a bayis (home) represents not only a physical dwelling but any accomplishment we build in life. He teaches that just as the Torah tells us to build the fence higher rather than stop at the roofline, real growth means never resting on what we've already accomplished. Rabbi Silber urges that the moment we take pride in an achievement is precisely the moment to start dreaming about what comes next.
