Memorable Quotes

“Prayer is an invitation to God to intervene in our lives, to let His will prevail in our affairs; it is the opening of a window to Him in our will, an effort to make Him the Lord of our soul.”
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Herschel

First Sentence

Let your house be a meeting place for the rabbis, and cover yourself in the dust of their feet, and drink in their words thirstily. Attributed to Yose ben Yoezer. Bethany's steep dirt roads are hard on your legs, especially when you have spent a hot day walking uphill the entire way from Jericho. But the smell of Martha's lamb stew wafting from a cooking pot in the front coutyard of her house beckons your dusty legs to keep climbing. You try to ignore your aching feet and the sweat-soaked dirt that clumps between your toes, thinking instead of the cool drink she will soon offer. The long hike has been worth it, because the conversation along the way has been absolutely profound. Didn't you feel your heart burning within you as you listened to the rabbi?
