I love the warmth of Chana. Sad heartbreaking true stories. Only love can overcome hate. Thank you. Reply

Rachel, and Moses though dead prayed? I thought the the living know they shall die but the dead knows nothing. Isn't that what Solomon says? I also thought their memories and plans and so on cease at death, but they are in their graves waiting for the resurrection? I am confused. Help! Reply

Lucky Jewish Children Sometimes we don't realize how lucky we are to have our matriachs as inspiration. When I was a child and had a test in school, it always upset me if I didn't do well because I thought why can't I take it again, then I would do better. Of course that's a minor problem but by learning that no matter what mistakes we make or fears we have we get another chance to do better-----makes us stronger people. Jewish people are inheritly kind and caring people and Chana you inspire us to "Teach our children Well." Reply

As Brothers and Sisters Chana:
Once again your presentation hit it out of the park! Once again your communication causes me to look at how I treat my wife, my family and my co-workers and reminds me that I must treat others much more gentle and with a lot more compassion. Thank you! Reply
