Goodness, we love ALL Aaron Raskin's Lightt
The Letters of Light got us started on our oath to deep interest in Torah and learning the depth of the Word of G-d. Thank you for this. We have made Aaron Raskin and Chabad Lubavitch of Brooklyn Heights our Amazon Smile program.
Thank you for bringing such depth of Light into the glorious, usually unseen, awe of the ink and skin.
