Chesed? certainly not Tiferet, and I can't even begin to imagine what Michael Jackson might be....Kol Ra'ash Gadolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990368493440225799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-37430652895879731012010-09-28T10:18:30.353-04:002010-09-28T10:18:30.353-04:00Rav Shach and the Lubavitcher Rebbe.Rav Shach and the Lubavitcher Rebbe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003330.post-74155232388481886822010-09-27T16:05:20.689-04:002010-09-27T16:05:20.689-04:001.

My mama so I could explain the custom of mourning that I'm following for her She was not Jewish by any means and would likely have questions such as: why are we sitting in an unsafe looking hut when you have a nice house right over there, and why are we eating this nasty, sour fruit when apples are easily found this time of year and what are those branches? There are perfectly good oak and maple leaves this time of year that have more color.<br /><br />2. My grandma and grandpa so I could explain to them that when I start learning Hebrew the only words I knew were from the blessing they recited as they lit the Shabbat candles when they came to visit us. And I always remembered them letting me sit with them as they did it and prayed and how warm that felt.<br /><br />3. Rashi--I have a lot of questions.<br /><br />4. Akita--I have a lot of questions and I want to know how he was able to run a profitable farm and have time left over to study.<br /><br />5. Rebbitzin Akita--so I can ask her if she ever minded that he was always busy either farming or studying.<br /><br />6. Lot's daughters. Really? You thought everyone in the world had been killed off and you thought it was important to have life go on that much?<br /><br />7.
