Beautiful writing and loving sentiments. One of my favorites: “I know you, and therefore I know the things you love, and I care about those things simply because you do.” For me to feel known in that way was to feel deeply loved.
And I love that you mentioned the Radziminer Rebbe (1878–1942) poses this question: “If one who crosses the ocean and is rescued from a shipwreck gives thanks to God, should we not thank God if we cross without a mishap? If one who is cured of a dangerous illness offers praise to God, should we not praise God when God grants us health and preserves us from illness?”
In that case...thank you for this article😉
It seems from what you have written that it makes life a lot more straight forward to be a believing Jew who has Someone to direct our thanks to.
Interesting.
It helps. Thank you Tali.
