By Chana Weisberg

I realized that the needle isn't what draws the blood. Though the needle pricks the skin, the vacuum in the empty container draws it out.

That's true...

But when we're sick,we need also the needle to be pierced in order to prompt the process of emptiness.

With the treatment-Torah-we are able to refill again with new healthy blood.

B'H
thank you 'Chana, you know Torah reading is
like refreshing blood and the balance between
reading - headwork is doing with those who
are ill or may not read the Torah thats heart work and handwork.

Chana's articles

Whenever I see the author is Chana weisberg, I know the message is a good one. There's a lesson in everything we do, every encounter we experience in life, every day. Sometimes we forget and need a gentle reminder. Thank you Chana.

Well done :-)

Now that you are really brave, how about donating some of that wonderful blood to others who need it? I wish you could see the miraculous improvement that a transfusion of blood freely given by a stranger can have for a patient clinging to life. Blood is amazing, like everything in our bodies :-)

Often we need a break from our daily routine. A pause from life to help us appreciate life.

A little pat on the back to let us know when we're on track. A word of encouragement to help us through those bleak moments and difficult days.

Sometimes, we just yearn for some friendship and camaraderie, someone to share our heart with. And sometimes we need a little direction from someone who's been there.

So, take a short pause from the busyness of your day and join Chana Weisberg for a cup of coffee.
