I ENJOY THE MESSAGE
Very nice and true message, it does happen.

and the suggestion is great, I have grown up twins, and when I comment to them anything that they know it could be better, they answer me, MOM it is what it is.

Honoring right on target!
My Father did pass away on Wed Feb 09 2011. I learned because of his video that I should worship father in a way I never thought of! I took every energy to be by his side without thinking of my loss of wages from work, but I have only one dad and his life ment more to me then paying my bills! It will all work out if placed in the G _ds hands! I am so happy I spent those last days at my fathers bedside and have no regrets!! He came first! I will miss my daddy from way deep down inside of me! In memory of my father Robert F. Andre'! Love you Daddy! Thank you for this lesson!

What does it say?
The white letters in back of me say: "Etz chaim hi l'machazikim bah." It's a verse from Proverbs which means that the Torah "is a tree of life for those who hold fast to it." It's written on that curtain because it is covering the ark where the Torah scrolls are kept.
