Our Mailbox Dear Mina, I am working Tuesdays this month. Maybe in the spring. However, my likelihood of attendance is much higher in the morning. I am a big fan of the Torah. One of the speakers at your convention spoke of how things happen for a reason. (an understatement). In my one year at Yeshiva at age 15, I could actually read and translate not only Hebrew, but Rashi in Aramaic. It was a mystical experience like a special door I was able to walk through. It can’t really be explained in English. It is a flame I have carried in my heart. Also explains my passion for Israel. We are members of PRIMER, a group that combats lies and propaganda (BDS) by writing letters. But you are my link to Judaism so keep me in the loop, even if I don’t show up much. Carol Thomaston, CT
Mina, what? Let’s go back to the past High Holidays. When your husband, the Rabbi, had a group discussion, I had brought up the subject as to why women don’t wear a Tallit and I believe your oldest daughter answered. the question, which I’m quite thankful for. I continue to learn so much about Judaism from your Chabad website and from asking questions. I wish to thank you, your husband, the Rabbi and your daughters for helping me with my education. Please thank your daughter for me for being patient with me. Kenneth Burlington, CT
Hi Mina, We had a good time this morning at the Talis and Tephillin Club. Elizar was thorough, and we did the entire Parsha including the commentary, with some explanation by him too. That was what we called it when I attended it on Sundays after my Bar Mitzvah at xxxxx Jewish Center and the men’s club would provide a great breakfast of bagels and lox. In those days I would eat 2 of them easily. Have a good week and Stay well. I’m looking forward to the weekend. Mal, Torrington, CT
