Living with the Bracelet - In Touch with Challenges

When faced with our own challenges in our lives, we have two choices: succumb to the pain and sorrow, or rise above it--and in the process, transform our world.

Reader's Comment

I am not Jewish either (on mother's side) but I LOVED the teaching which underlines this story. It is so deep. It speaks of the best of ALL people which has been so profoundly exemplified by the Jewish people throughout history. Your people have not only given the world the light of TORAH and HASHEM. You have also shown us practical demonstrations of them both in the character of the lives you lead. May the Blessing of HASHEM be upon your and yours.

The bracelet

Thank you for this touching story,I am not a Jew , but like Ruth , your People will be my People, your G-d will be my G-d.9th of Av is around the corner and again we will fast and pray. May the Lord bless Israel and all those who love Israel. I encourage all non Jews to celebrate the real festivals. Turn to Torah for ALL the instructions you'll need to find the ONE true G-D.Shema Israel
