Etrog
Rabbi thank you for the Mitzvot in your presentation and story of the Etrog and one's love for your wife.
We tend to look inside the box instead of outside the box, which opens up for all of us a whole new life and world
Shalom

Etrog
Wonderful story. when we cannot do one mitzvah, we can do another. Every mitzvah puts a smile on G-d's face. They all count to Him. Think half full/optimism versus half full/pessimism. Quantity of mitzvot can become a habit. Keep G-d smiling, and you are doing the right thing.

Thank you

The Etrog that became a Lemon
Dear Rabbi Chaim Mentz,

I want to thank you very much for sharing with us your talents and wisdom. This story is indeed very powerful. I have shared it with MANY of my friends and most of them answered me: AWESOME.
May G-d continue to shower you with Shalom.
