Brings Back Memories

Chana Weisberg apparently always makes superb videos, this one being an example of this. The person in my life that relates to this video is my mother, who has since passed away and whom I did not sufficiently appreciate while she was alive. And now it is too late. I miss her soooo much. :-(

A lovely reminder for us all

I always try to give my thanks to the human caretakers of any of the places I go. And I frequently thank HaSh-m for all the blessings I have received. This piece is lovely. Thank you, Rebbetzin.

wonderful piece!

Is there any other religion that would praise the Creator of Existence, the Life of the Worlds, by comparing him to a janitor?!? I love it, a beautiful idea that both brings insight to our experience of our daily lives and honor and appreciation to those who receive far too little of these things. Beautiful.

I think those who are the wives of Rabbis are most of the time the invisible caretakers. We should give proper respect for them.
