Rabbi Raskin, your recollection of the floats; the part you were 'lucky' to play; your boyish pride about your pajamas with the trains across the front; your question if the Rebbe's remark about you was made because he saw and liked your pajamas; and, the way you tell this adorable story, brought such a gigantic smile to my face. Thank you for sharing that story. Reply

Rabbi,
I Like your connection between Shavuot, Purim and Lag Ba-omer, and basically how everything is interrelated in Gal Einai. even the rainbow, the Rebbe and every single human and creation as we say All is One va-ein od.
Thanks and G-d Bless

Rainbows and Students. Rainbows do not bring worry. When G-D places HIS bow in the sky and sees it, He will remember HIS everlasting covenant between HIMSELF and all living things. One can never achieve a highest level of spirituality, students we all must be. There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, who knows if there is even an end? Reply
Dear Rabbi Raskin,
The good Lord bless you. In 2014 my family found out that we're descended from the Basque Jews in Spain. I was born and baptized Roman Catholic and was never religious or observant. But in 2014 I did teshuva and after I did that, the God of Israel made Himself known, and I have been learning Talmud Torah since. You are especially gifted and, by far, your teachings have been the most resonant to me. I treasure the beautiful soul you have --- what a gift to the world. And I believe this, that we are all one.
