Mazal Tov

SMASHED GLASS: There are many things that come to mind.  The two that I think about are at the Chuppah and Mazaltov (but at different points - I’ll explain). •

I’m referring to That moment when we remember yerushalyim and then he smashes the glass as a significance to the sadness...and then when someone drops a glass and it breaks and we all say, “ Mazal tov! It’s for good things”. 

I remember clearly breaking a glass accidentally, being mortified, but going to the kitchen and chuckling to myself - I knew it was a siman bracha.  And it was.  I got engaged two months later.  It’s not BECAUSE of that, but thinking that way can bring upon more goodness.  Who knows? That’s how I like to think.  If it can be good, let’s use it for good.  I say: if I can’t loose out so I might as well do it! NOW: do you see it - MAZAL TOV!!
