Peace

Source

יִשָּא ה׳ פָנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וְיָשֵׁם לְּךָ שָׁלוֹם

Numbers 6:26Sefaria

Commentary

The priestly blessing ends in shalom: classic sources treat peace as wholeness between persons with the Divine, not mere quiet or victory.

The light

Before a hard conversation, say aloud: I want peace, not victory.
