Sometimes by shutting Hashem out really lets Him burst in later when he is most needed by us.

May Hashem bless you with the ability to use that wonderful tough nature of yours to meet your goals. We look forward to seeing you and your dear wife here at Home.<br /><br />Rafua: As I said before, I cannot know what was in Rabbi Cardozo's mind. But having read a number of his essays and books, I am certain he agrees with you. Perhaps he is speaking to the way young people often define what matters. I know that my sons care very much right now about "those things that are worth dying for" -- and since you know them, you are aware that they are very invested in LIFE.rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873285922620200649.post-55529454039865531292011-04-08T18:24:58.996+03:002011-04-08T18:24:58.996+03:00Ruthie: I wonder why Rabbi Cardozo mentions sever...Ruthie: I wonder why Rabbi Cardozo mentions several times that our faith is something to die for. Under specific circumstances, it certainly is. But Torah is not principally a reason to die.

I lost my job, my home, my savings, had to sell possessions that I enjoyed, had to give up my self respect with my right leg. And I gave up G-d along with it. After all how could he do this to me. I still do not understand why. But I am trying to let G-d back in. I am still angry but I really would like to have a reason to live and to die eventually. This essay helps. Thank you Ruthie.

She had always been secular, and together they tried to eek a life out for themselves. 13 years after they married they adopted me, and my father let God back into his life. <br /><br />You just have to leave the door open a little bit...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
