The 33rd Day of the Omer

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.

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

1.45 am 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
