Holiness and Love

How are we able to perform countless acts of love as we are commanded?
How can we begin to obey such a difficult charge?
It is not such a mystery, really.
Every lullaby, every diaper change, every smile, every sleepless night, every wordless prayer of thanks for this perfect baby.
In these and the unending ways we care for and teach and protect our children, we perform countless acts of love.
And the world is made holier. And so are we.
-Debra Nussbaum Cohen (adapted from the Midrash)

Why make an account?

Because why use any of your precious brain cells to remember where you kept those great readings that you’ll use someday at Jeffrey’s B Mitzvah? Make an account, keep the readings there. Easy peasy. The only thing you’ll need to remember is your password, and from personal experience that’s hard enough.
