The Memory of Water
When your world's strangeness becomes too much to bear, and your battle's loneliness too heavy to carry, you seek solace in your watery past.

Noah makes an ark, G-d floods the earth, a dove brings an olive branch, Shem and Japeth drag a blan-ket, men build a tower and the first Jew is born.

The View from Above
A wave of pity swept over me. I was filled with great compassion, for my body, for the life I had wasted, for my loved ones who would remain in this world.

Ooh and Ah
"If you want to have a successful life," the father explained, "you must ensure that the 'ooh' sound comes before the 'ah' sound."
"If you want to have a successful life," the father explained, "you must ensure that the 'ooh' sound comes before the 'ah' sound."
There are three crowns: the crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood and the crown of royalty; but the crown of good name surmounts them all.

Looking at your world from Above, all is good.
Looking at your world from within, things don’t always look so nice.
Until you connect your world below to the world above. Then the goodness flows downward without distortion.
How do you make that connection? By clinging tightly above.
By putting all your trust in G‑d.
