OMfG, what a wonderful four letter word. Those four letters can say so much in so little time, whether expressing joy or grief, excitement or disappointment, delight and sorrow, impatience or urgency - truly the breadth of human experience.
As rabbis, we know that when the stories of our lives meet the stories of Jewish tradition, transformation / growth / something awesome occurs. Apple Podcast, Spotify, Anchor |
