Self love and love of others

With women, we are taught to be nurturing to OTHERS, and not so much taught to nurture our own selves. So, we spend all our energy being something to others, but a nobody to our selves. We don't take the time to care for our own physical or mental or emotional health. We often sacrifice what we need for what others need. In the end, in our old age, we learn that unless we took care of our bodies, our minds, our souls while young, we have maladies that affect us as elder people. I am now 63 years old, and realize I SHOULD have, in ADDITION to caring for others, taken care of myself when I was younger. To those young women who are happy being a wife, a mother, etc., please remember- TAKE CARE of yourself so you CAN care for others for many, many more years!

Love your fellow Jew

Charity begins at home. While the non-Jew is our best friend, our fellow Jew is a brother or sister. The measure of a man is how he treats his own. Someone who's a mentch and treats his closest ones with respect will be a great neighbor as well. If someone, however, is nice to strangers but he mistreats his own, that person is completely dysfunctional. For the Jew, our window to the world begins with being at peace with our Jewishness.

He says your fellow Jew. What about those who didn't come from Judah but the other tribes of Israel, or even your fellow man that isn't even from Abraham. Should you treat them different?
