The $1000 Car Repair

Last week I bumped into another car and knocked my front headlight a bit out of place. At the garage they told me I was going to have to replace the entire front bumper. Cost: Over $1000! Around that same time I had also been thinking of making a donation to our friend’s organization that provides food packages to needy working neighborhood families. In honor of the 10 Days of Teshuva. Teshuva, tefilla, tsedaka remove the evil decree, and all that. That same day, our friend sent me a receipt for a previous donation, so I asked him for...

2 Things that Made Me Smile Today

This morning I had to smile when, by the entrance to my corner store, I saw this stand teeming with unsold honey cakes. On clearance sale, for just a dollar and a half. One fifth it’s pre-Rosh Hashana price.🍎🍯When I came back a few hours later the stand seemed just as full as it had this morning… This afternoon I took my son to the lumber yard because he plans to build a shelter for the family bikes.

How is it possible to feel loved by this infinite, omnipotent, incomprehensible entity? But last week I had a timely God’s-Love breakthrough in my Elul writing workshop with Yocheved Rottenberg that transformed my Rosh Hashanah. My embarrassingly simple realization was this: just like we human beings have different love languages, I can experience Hashem’s love for me...
