Great article. Once again Rabbi Yanky took a very simple analogy which I know I've heard before somewhere. But he filled it with life and vitality. Very inspiring! Enough is enough!!

Let us come home.
I totally agree. May Hashem bring us all home by next month to the holy steps in Jerusalem.

The Cry of the Soul
I must at admit when I saw the title of this article, I thought it was a recipe for cholent. As I eagerly read the article, I chuckled to myself because the person thought that the people in the shul were crying because of hunger. But was he really that far off? Deep inside are we not crying for the living bread?

As I read on, I could relate to the galut. I am a recent convert whose soul had been crying for years searching something I knew I was missing. I just didn't know what that something was until the Sabbath I heard Rabbis davening in Hebrew.

Although I did not know a word of Hebrew, I was touched me at the soul level. Heaven opened to for me that day. I knew I had found the path that I had been searching for. I knew I had found The One who my soul loves. I knew deep inside that no matter how uncomfortable the transition would be it would be worth the sacrifice.

However, I know that I must continue to cry until Moshiach is here. Cry for all of Israel....

Galut
It is interesting to explore the history of the name Galut ...as it is the first 5 letters of my last name...

I found courage and hope in your saying,"The holier the spark, the deeper it is hidden"!!! I am looking deeper for my sparks !! Thank you, Shalom
