Dear Rabbi, 
What an exciting and life altering journey I have discovered. There is a Talmudic quote which says each blade of grass has an angel bending over it whispering “grow grow”. That is an amazing thing to have such encouragement. That is how I feel on this journey.  You have opened a wonderful way to access information, study and association. Thank you and know this is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Abigail
