I can''t even say anything. I am so moved.This lesson you teach cannot not effect me and my life. That would be the same as "going on the most beautiful cruise, and staying in my room-to top it off the TV:is all static and I don't change channel. That's what it would be like if I wasn't "moved" also to make changes in my life. Thank u so much,
Melrose

I plan on downloading your lectures onto my MP3 player so they will keep me company on my weekly commute to Albany, New York. I am Tami Holiday's (Podell) brother, Rick Holiday. I love your humor which makes lectures on Yiddishkeit so much more enjoyable. Yasher Koach!!

I will add this to my commentary, just sent to Chabad, and that is, right after writing this, my husband came in with today's Boston Globe.
I sat down to read it and instantly saw an article portraying clocks in photos, and about a new installation video coming to our Museum of Fine Arts about clocks.
Time is something we cannot ever hold on to, except in memory, except in photographs and in writing. This is how we stop the river, in a temporary, perhaps illusory way, how we record time. How we "mark it".
It's about FLOW, a mysterious thing, as in the river, as in water running. We are all part of the flow, part of the River of life, and what flows within us too, being blood, is salty.
God made a Covenant with us, of salt, and I am feeling deeply, now, NOW, make it NOW
I am feeling a pulse, and that pulse is about a Promise, made a long long time ago, and yes, it is Messianic, and No, I have no idea how this will happen. I just feel it, madly, deeply, the hands of Time: Divine.

re Mastering Time
yesterday my husband and I were teaching a class about the lyric poet, Jacques Brel, who is a household name, in France.
his song, that incorporates time and aging, The Old Folks, is very deep very sad, and very much about all of us. Brel uses the word "thyme" in the song, and not, TIME, but the song is redolent of the clock, The Old Silver Clock when day is done...
To watch old videos of Brel singing this deeply sad song, is to see how he uses his hands to represent the hands of the clock, of time.
Thyme is one of our seasonings, from the Garden. And Time and the River, about our lives.
We are surely seasoned by life, and we pass through so many stages, so many seasons, some the winter of our lives, and others the spring, and the blossomings. We draw from the same deep, deep, well.
I think to make use of our time, to use it well, to draw from the well, is to realize we're all in this together, and that LOVE is truly, the answer.

Thank you Rabbi. This has truly blessed me. May G-d continues to bless you and give you the right words to express His heart to His people.

Once again, as always, this is a marvelous and very touching lecture, thanks!!!

is that in order to truly appreciate the return, there had to have had a leaving.
The woman who's father had left, it was his gift to her for a glorious return. Enjoy the gift!
G-d leaves nothing wasted.

Beauty IS Truth:
Of course the word leads is aurally in bleeds itself and leader is to lieder. This symphony has a conductor.
To see what bleeds and succor. Tikkun olam. LOVE.
Yes, ruah, soul, breath, of heart and mind, , to wake to smell the roses, present is gift.
Go to the symphony!
Words that convey beauty, as beauty is truth. The poets are singing. The i sing on the cake.
I do deeply believe we are moving towards this, towards a world of knowledge, of praise, that is prays. The keys are in the words.
To be tossed the keys is to perceive a deep unity to all life, and to kneel in prayer, in love, in awe.
As day, is to DEI, another word for Divinity.
It's what you are saying, but each day, is the first day, of creation. So every day, is Shabbat, and that's where the Messiah resides.
Work should be about joy, about passion, about love. Then it is not work.
True identity is I love, therefore I am.
I follow my heart.
We can learn it all from the garden.
