It seems each week I read your commentary and they connect personally. How your words help guide me through my own challenges cannot be explained except through the divine.

Thank you

What a kind comment - thank you Artie! It means a lot to me to feel connected through Torah learning!

אלו דברים שאין להם שעור These are the things without measure. This is the prayer I have long treasured. When you write of keeping score and Ruth versus Elimelech my mind and heart goes right there.

And let's not forget roses and cheesecake. Their fragrance and taste is without measure...beyond measure really! LOL. חג שמח Mijal!

Megillah Ruth is my favorite

The love Ruth had for Naomi and her ways

Acts of selfless kindness

The internet is dehumanizing many ppl

We don’t know if we are interacting with a teenaged male or a 78 yo woman.Basic decorum and derech eretz is being eroded behind fake names and memes

Rabbi Joe Wolfson is someone I interacted with briefly after 10/7/23 and he radiates selfless kindness

Thank you for your weekly Torah

Thank you - I also adore Megillat Ruth. I taught/learned it 3 times this last month and each time from a different perspective which is just awesome. R' Joe and his community really represent the Torah of ruth, which is why I wanted to learn with him :) Hag Samaeah!
