never ending love
Even when you feel like you have lost them a mother never loses her love for her children. So it is with G-d that he loves us even more.

Mine...?
"Just because she is mine..." she says in this otherwise beautiful video.
I don't think I like that expression. Children comes through us and we don't OWN them. They are individuals and we can give them all our values and traditions until they are old enough to leave the nest. Then they have to stand on their own feet, and hopefully they'll keep in mind the values we - as parents - gave them - and lived for.
The most important is to accept them and respect them all as individuals. Our three children have left home for studies and army, noone are married yet, and they come home almost every shabat and chag to celebrate chagim with their parents! We are SO lucky!

Mine? by Naomi
"Mine" refers to the oneness between parent and child (my child-not chattel) which is never severed even once they leave the nest. That sense of oneness does in fact belong to me. This became most clear to me when holding MY grandson, and my heart overtook my entire being. He was the son of MY daughter, who was making a life of her own and was still my daughter. Similarly, we have that oneness with the Almighty, and yes, we are His. I would wish it no other way. A beautiful and accurate video.

A mother's love
I love this message. Even though I am not a mother, but I know how much my mother gave to me and my siblings. She gave up her dream to accomplish ours. Something as children we fail to realize that until the time in life comes to be selfless.

Mine...again
Thank you, Yonatan. For your comments. I know what you are telling, and I and my husband are now longing for grandchildren. Just for a feeling like you had when you hold your grandson. But most of all: We want our children to find the right one to spend their life together with. We love our children more than they love us...I think...

A Mother Love
My children and grandchildren are my life.
Life with out children or grandchildren is empty. No greater happiness than when your
grandkids tells you, I love you so much Grandma, and your kids call me every day just to say hello and find out how I am doing. They are always in my heart.
My love for them is unconditional.
Thanks to G_d I am blessed.

Extra-ordinary Love
I am a father of a baby boy JORGE of 7yrs of age. In him and through him, I was able to see for the first time, the real code of LOVE, and how gently and smoothly love expresses itself, teaches itself and refines every aspect of human life, actions and knowledge. Through JORGE, I see my future-self. This is extra-ordinary

My mother died when I was 2 yrs. old
My mother was only 27 when she died and I was 2...I've never felt disconnected..I've always felt her near..Even more now that I have a Grand daughter who delightfully looks like her.
There is always a connection no matter if they are alive or live far or near by...World War2 exposed her to allot of radiation..Giving her brain tumors..Which has passed on to me..Even more connected are we....

Children/Grandchildren
This is a most beautiful piece and is felt in the heart of a man as well as the woman who bore this angel.

I, as a parent first, learned the hard way as we all did by trial and error. I have many siblings and many nieces and nephews who I love dearly but it was still a new experience when my children were born.
It was mostly by error that I learned. Now as a grandfather I am amazed at how I know so much about children. Our grandchildren are the love of our lives and I would give my life for them. Even at sixteen our oldest grandchildren come to us, when we visit, and never fail to hug and kiss my wife and I. We are an integral part of their lives and will be until the Lord calls us home.

God bless those who truly love and protect children no matter who or where they are.

A Mother's Love
I watched this poignant video 10 minutes ago, and the tears are still flowing....that's how deeply it touched me.

I am not a mother, and I lost my mother in 2001 but the love and the bond between us is as strong as ever, as is my love for my G-d.

Thank you for this beautifully done presentation!

mothers love
this video touched me so..tomorrow is mothers day, and one sees how economy zooms into these occasions..
i sent my daughters this video to remind them that its not about outward things, but about the unconditional love i have for them no matter what ...and no matter if they are not fitting into the picture frame i would have liked them to fit into...but that they have been sent by god, have god within them and that god within me shines love to them as they walk their lifes path, with its challanges and rewards...

G_d's Love
I do not agree that a newborn has nothing to give. Being able to love in this way gives one infinite depth, worth and understanding and prepares us for the road ahead by bringing us closer to G-d then we have ever been For H'Shem made giving and receiving blend togther.........this deep unconditional love is probably tthe most direct window into the ligth by which we can begin to speak of 'H"Shem's love for us. But as human beings how can we understand a truely selfless love...we would have to be without the self, we would have to understand a love with no end and no beginning .. Every day, I am deeply thankful and awed that G_d gave me these wonderous windows in my life

Very moving!
Not at all clear that you are talking only about the Jewish nation whom have been called the children of G-d in the Torah!
The message is an extremely important one, which must be impressed to children (and adults) as they grow and develop relationships which are formed on conditional love!

a mother's heart
My two sons were taken away from me in a twisted tale of deception and viciousness in a child custody battle with a controlling ex-husband when they were ten and twelve.

My now 23 year old made a decision back then to turn his back on me and has not spoken to me since.

While I have heard through the grapevine that he just celebrated the birth of my first grandchild, I was not "allowed" to "know" or participate publicly in the joy. But in my heart, I rejoiced at a new life, my seed, and pray every day for my son and his son.

Not a day goes by, that both my sons are not on my mind. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my grandson, and count his toes and fingers in my mind and wonder what color his hair is.

Our Heavenly Mother Shechina
Your video reminds me of the fact that G-d is not just "He" but also "She". Shechina is our true Mother and Her love of me is unconditional. Same like love of a mother to her child. Loving G-d means also returning her love like the moon reflecting rays of the sun. Another dimension in our love with G-d.

The Blessing to be a Mother
G'D had blessed each of us THE MOTHERS & GRANNYS & GREAT GRANNYS with the ultimate power to have a soul grown inside us, to be able to feed our little life inside us, to be able to feel our little baby inside us & to love at the very first second when we learn that we have been blessed to bring a soul to life, to give birth & to be a MOTHER. The most precious of all is that this blessing & a gift that was given to us WOMEN by G'D.
This is my ultimate blessing to be able to have 2 wonderful & perfect children. Happy Mother's Day!

Just wanted to tell you that I cried reading your words, and offer my heartfelt wishes that you be reunited with your children and grandchild, and given the opportunity to show you love as a parent. That you feel the love in your heart for this grandchild is a beautiful reflection of your character- may you receive joy in your life.

unabiding love
When a teenager is caught between conflicting loyalties and seeking to rise to the expectations set by these conflicting values, and when added to this mix there is strife and hypocrisy as parents also strive to live in two worlds at once and find they cannot, it is no wonder that a teenager rebels against this way of life that does not embody 'shalom bayit'.

While we reap what we have sown, let us sow today a new seed and ask forgiveness from our children and prepare the way for new days starting with this moment in time. A beautiful present also casts a better light on the past, which can not be changed.

A mother's love
As a child I and my six siblings grew up in the 30's and 40's. We were as poor as anyone could be. Food to us was a precious commodity and we were hungry often. We, as children, did not really realize we were hungry but our mother did. Our mother had unconditional love for us and we in turn for her. Now, at 72, I still have that same love.

There are many posts here telling of great love and some sadness at how children may turn out. I have found that in loving children and giving them good morals to live by as well as proper guidance they will grow to have the character necessary to carry them thru life.

In talking with a rabbi one time he told me the Bar Mitzvah was to bring the child into the adult world and leave the selfishness and egotism of children behind them. I disagreed and mentioned that I found children to be loving, kind, honest and unselfish. And, it is only when they reach adult hood that the adult attitudes rub off on them. Children are the blessed ones.

Really nice!!!

Thanks Is Not An Actual Word That We Can Owe Her Back. She Is Everything. She Cries With Us When We Cry. She Laugh With Us When We Laugh. She Stood With Us When We Are Alone. She Saw us(Children) As Her Best Friend.

No More Words To Appreciate Her Efforts,
No More Gifts To Compensate Her Love
No More Thanks To Make Her Alien.

G-d's endowment to Mothers
Thank you, Ms. Weisberg, for this video. I appreciate the words and message of your video and the equating of the love of a Mother for her child and the love of G-d for His children. However, G-d has indeed endowed Mothers with the ability to feed their children without the use of external aids that can compromise both the health of baby and mother--by breastfeeding! It has already been shown in prolific research that the risks of not breastfeeding mean increased risks of illness in baby and cancers in both mother and baby. There are many other advantages as well! Showing a video with a prominent artificial nipple and blurred artificial feeding sends a completely mixed message about the appropriateness, acceptability, and health of this G-d given means of feeding a baby. If the new Mother is having difficulty, there are many ways that she can seek help and persevere, and it is in the best interest of all to do so!

can u imagine?
can u imagine a mother's love for her child ending?

even this is possible, but the love from G-d m is limitless - this is how powerful G-d's love for us is

... read that somewhere in the Tanach :)
