Your discussion. Rabbi Kaplan, Im an eighty two year old Jew. I came from a secular home. I was the youngest of three children. Recently I joined a Chabad. some forty miles from my home. I have stopped attending because i am not healthy. also i feel intimidated by the attendees because i know nothing of Jewish laws or traditions. I have been watching your presentations with thirst to find what is missing from my life. would you please advise me. Reply
HONESTY is still the best policy Thanks Rabbi Kaplan for another week great teachings.
