]]> Comment on Why Inner City Schools Need Kohanim by Ruth Hirsch http://joyousjudaism.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/why-inner-city-schools-need-kohanim/#comment-243 Ruth Hirsch Fri, 08 May 2009 13:11:28 +0000 http://joyousjudaism.wordpress.com/?p=132#comment-243 Beautiful. Reading this brought tears to my eyes. Yes, as you wrote, we certainly are blessed to "live amongst diamonds and rubies and an untold number of other precious treasures." And on a personal note, I am deeply touched every time I have the privilege to be present during parents' blessings of their children. Beautiful. Reading this brought tears to my eyes.

]]> Comment on Jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge straight into Israel by Elisheva http://joyousjudaism.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/jumping-off-the-golden-gate-bridge-straight-into-israel/#comment-236 Elisheva Mon, 04 May 2009 07:08:41 +0000 http://joyousjudaism.wordpress.com/?p=123#comment-236 This post speaks to me so powerfully. When people ask me why I made Aliyah, I just say, "Insanity." It's an answer that satisfies most Israelis without digging any deeper. A few want to know what I mean, and then I explain that I always wanted to live here, that when I was 7 I declared that I'd live in Haifa when I grow up, that when I'm not in Israel I have dreams about this place and a terrible, deep yearning for the land. When I'm here I feel like I have roots in the bottom of my feet that reach into the soil and make me real. It sounds so silly. It sounds so new agey, so wishy-washy, so crazy. But it's true. In every other place I'm like a potted plant sitting on the porch, but here I am truly home. This post speaks to me so powerfully.

Such a great idea to write your talk up in the blog so others who weren't there can also learn from you. I wanted to ask/suggest that maybe you could have a list of books you've read on the site, or a list to a profile on goodreads or something similar because you always bring up such interesting books during your talks but when I get home I can never remember what they're called. Thank you for making Shir Chadash such a wonderful place and making me want to come back each week. Hi Rabbi Pear,
