In today\u2019s world, there are dozens, hundreds, or maybe thousands, of experts, gurus and insiders who can tell you how to score First Class airline cabins, luxury hotel rooms and all sorts of other goodies, \u201cfor free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it\u2019s not actually free, as you most often need to get various credit cards, accumulate points, and then find the sweet-spot to use those points for the trips you want to take. Of course, they remind you, it\u2019s easier if your destination and travel dates are flexible. Then, you can take advantage of the very best offers out there, and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not too long ago, a picture was going around social media of a fellow, wrapped in <em>tefillin<\/em> (phylacteries), saying Shema on an airplane. People were commenting about the beautiful show of devotion to Hashem (God), and similar comments. Then someone said, \u201cPrayers hit different from First Class.\u201d It was true, this young man was standing in what seemed to be a luxury \u201cpod\u201d on an airplane. It seemed like a nice way to serve Hashem, from the lap of luxury, comfortable, and pampered. But, of course, that isn\u2019t how life generally works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoying Getting There&#8230; But Not Being There<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think about the people who really have travel status, the ones who don\u2019t need points to ride up front to their destination, the ones who are recognized and known to the flight crews and the hotel staff, you\u2019d realize that to earn this status, these people are giving up a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are leaving their homes, perhaps for extended periods of time, mostly for work, trying to make a sale or connection with clients. Always on the move, they are not getting to rest and relax in those plush hotel rooms and spas. They are busy going from place to place and the small bit of pampering they get is a hard trade-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what happens when you stop traveling so much? When you\u2019re already a \u201cmillion-miler\u201d but you don\u2019t fly as much anymore? They stop loving you so much. You\u2019re not such an important person to the airlines and though you\u2019ll have some residual status, it\u2019s a far cry from what it used to be when they would massage your ego with complimentary cocktails and reclining seats. I heard this from a woman in the airport who, in her younger years, must have traveled quite frequently. Now, she lamented, it\u2019s rather sad that her status doesn\u2019t go very far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traveling To The Next World &#8211; Don&#8217;t Blow Your Savings!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What a parallel to life! We spend our brief lifetimes traveling from this world to the next, and we\u2019re so concerned about our class of travel. We want to be pampered and lauded for the seats we\u2019re in, even though this isn\u2019t our home and we\u2019re just passing through. Sure, it\u2019s nice to go in style, but at what cost?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we\u2019re focused on our material success and comfort; on the admiring comments from other people who are really trying to get something out of it for themselves, then when we land, and arrive at our destination, we might be in for a bit of a shock. It\u2019s like spending $5000 on a business-class ticket to Israel, with lie-flat seats and white-glove service, then staying in a cheap hostel there because you\u2019ve blown your savings on the seat you occupied for a small number of hours, most of which you slept through. The allure of traveling in comfort has cost you long-term pleasure at your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one is saying you shouldn\u2019t have nice clothing, good food, and a comfortable home. It\u2019s fine to want those things if it\u2019s in the cards for you, but don\u2019t spend your time chasing the upgrades at the expense of other things. One day, those millions of miles or dollars won\u2019t be worth what they are right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure Your Travel Is Worthwhile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can afford both the nice seat and fabulous accommodations when you get where you\u2019re going, more power to you. The person who wears expensive clothing while sitting in shul davening or learning, and giving appropriate amounts of tzedakah, can go ahead and do it. If one can fly in a first-class seat and still daven with kavanah (concentration) like the boy in the picture, then we haven\u2019t taken our eyes off the destination, and we will make sure we\u2019ve got everything we need waiting for us on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, the fact that these perks are primarily available for travel made the lesson just jump out at me. It\u2019s such a clear parable about how we\u2019re just passing through and this isn\u2019t where we belong or want to be ultimately. Of course, if we look at our time on this world as an opportunity to serve Hashem and others and to do our jobs as we trek onwards, then we\u2019re actually accomplishing something with our travel. It\u2019s not merely a means to an end, but part and parcel of getting us to our destination. So, as you look forward to a sweet New Year, remember that life is a journey, and while getting there may be half the fun, it\u2019s not nearly as important as where you\u2019re headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button tm-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/sign-up.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Want to learn more about Jewish philosophy?
