I was recently invited to give a talk to rabbinical students. My first reaction was, “Who am I to address such a distinguished group?” Then I realized I had a lot to say.
Nostalgia calls,
Beaming from ancient hillsides,
A legacy lay dormant,
buried in the Judean soil
contoured crests and valleys
unfolding along a lush river of time;
In Jerusalem, it is possible to go to a holy place, just be there, and walk away feeling more centered and whole. New York takes more effort, and these places are my recommendations.
Am I the only one that feels this way?
Rachel's assignment? To cover the topic, “Why don’t we talk about Gd enough?”
You only talk when it's useless.
Words are nothing to you.
Hashem created the synapses of your mind to be formulated for kedusha and you prefer the babblings of a madman in an empty room.
You ignore how your words are great actions.
Lashon Hara.
Kavod HaBriot.
Not Being a Total Dill-weed.
That stuff that you’re too frum to focus on in yeshiva.
A call to action, to my fellow educators.
