Wow, what an amazing way to look at such an encounter. Such a positive attitude. We can all learn from you. Good shabbos;)

I enjoyed reading your article so much! The same thing has happened in our household, but you expressed it in such a nice way and brought out such a great message from it about our relationship with Hashem and others around us. Keep on writing!

Genial as ever, Esther...
It is so clear what lighting the candles gives to the jewish woman in your article...
The important meaning of time... that is very clearly expained there.
Go ahead and continue giving us (the surfers of this wonderful web page) your inspiring articles

Thank you so much!! I am just in that situation now. I have been helping a friend out and thank G-d she doesnt need my help anymore, but amazingly I was left with this awful feeling.(of not being needed)..... I realized that I was gaining more than I was giving, and I have to step back and say this is not about me giving but about what needs to be done for the other!

Thank you for bringing out such a positive lesson in what can be such a sour experience. Instead of letting that "ruin the shabbos atmoshpere" you have shown how to us it as a continually strengthening lesson!

its my first time on this site, and i just cant believe that i have never been on it before. your outlook on life and its daily ecounters is much to be desired. you are an extraordinary woman-May we all be zoche to think like that and see the real 'light' behind every simple action we take or dont take.

I never had a mother to advise me, today I had a gentle lesson from another's mother to guide me through a life that is everytime less lonely. The right light at the time in which I most needed it. G-d answers prayers, thank you so much.

you managed to transform a seemingly big mistake into something so uplifting! It is said that even our mistakes are pre-ordained - you utilized this one well. wonderful yerida l'tzorech aliya (descent for the sake of an ascent).

I am not a Jew, though highly interested in names, birthdays, Shabbot,and passover events. In my country there are no Rabbi's but I come to the Web sites as often as possible to try and connect. Lastly, I pray every day for the peace of Jerusalem. May G-d bless you. Amen

Mahalo and aloha ... let there be light.

It's one thing to do the right thing at the wrong time, handling the terrible feeling afterward is awkward. I appreciate how you reconciled everything, it's beautiful, very refreshing. I'll be sharing that one with my daughters.
Thank you!
