I’ve gathered much fruit from this teaching. A heart full of thanks to you. So much history and so much present and always, much to look forward to, thanks be to G_d. Forgive me for mentioning this, but there is a movement and an associated quote used which I feel is misinterpreted here. The moral of the story is that G_d is the Creator of everything, he is the power in charge. He is first and above such worldly devisions of loyalty. The leader of this movement was questioned on this and he used hyperbole to respond. As you rightly say, even the Goyim should acknowledge G_d in their first act. In every act. An absolute pleasure to watch and learn from you. Thank you again. Reply

My priorities were always very clear until my husband of 63 years passed away in August of 2017. Caring and support for him during his many years of illness and decline was my ultimate priority. He was the focus of my life and I had no time for myself. Now I have to shift my priority to myself and at my advanced age, this is a formidable task! Now my new priority is to reacquaint myself with my Jewish faith which has been sadly lacking in my life. Reply

A delicious taste of text...
Remember where you come from, you are who you are and just spending time with your loved ones. These are the most important things in life. These are the things in life that are most important to me.
The first two women who spoke said they are most concerned about their families. I can totally relate! Without my family, I am nothing and just being together with them is greater to me than all the gold and silver I could ever wish for.
Thank you Ms. Weisberg, for another inspiring address!

parshat ki tavo don't we address Ha'shem as living king, and not just YOU when we pray in the morning the moda ani ?? Reply
Funny. I’ve always believed the key to understanding your true priorities is to look at your calendar and your bank account. These two can give great insight into what we truly put first and what we may need to change.
