Love is overrated: in relationships, in religion, in society as a whole. Love may add flavor to life. But purpose brings life to life. That's indispensable.

I love it when the Jewish community can really come together for a purpose. I see what its like when you are not alone. When every Jew can have a very important job in putting the picture together as one. Getting the satisfaction of having a active role in support of the whole team, no bench warmer now. Every body is helping and working real hard.

As a special education teacher I encounter children who have been discarded or abused by parents and to me, the worst case always turns out to be the most special person I could imagine. If only the parents could see. I always encourage the child to feel his importance by finding the specialness of his soul and then making sure he can see it too. I always try to help the parents see but sometimes they just cannot. As sad as it is, I always believe the reason I was meant to touch that childs life was enough to help him later in his life. We all have to pitch in whenever G-d presents us with a person who feels worthless. We have to at least try with all your heart to make that person feel worthwhile. But remember, it has to be a genuine thought, because those people who feel worthless can see right through you.

Beautiful.
There's nothing bad in being needed or to need others. Inspiring

I now understand what the first 1 law means through these interviews. I have not included myself more into the Jewish lifestyle I have sent myself outside the camp. I can not learn much by doing this by myself. I will soon introduce myself in the most common way I can to the Jewish community. I need the ability to learn Torah in a personal way that evolves real people .I am just feeling better now but need just a bit more time.

I always heard that you should have someone in your life because you love them and not because you need them.
But Rabbi, you are now saying that we you need people in our life,
How would you differentiate between loving and needing in a relationship with humans as suppose to a relationship with the almighty?
Thanks
