The purpose of this blog is to turn the Shabbat table into a retreat... Please print and share.
Thank you for the ++ feedback on last week's Does the Song Remain the Same? (apologies to those for whom it was too technical).
Yesterday we took the kids on a drive through agricultural "heartland", picked some apples and fall vegetables, saw how a dairy farm works, sought out an apiary, and so on.
The undulating hills were beautiful, and usually capped with a farmhouse of one sort or another. But every once in awhile you encounter a farmhouse which is such an enormous stately mansion that it seems to belong
Which leads to this week's lead question:
Would you rather live care-free in a shack, or full of worry and anxiety in a palace?
I'm guessing most people would choose the former...?
But then why do people spend so much time and energy pursuing the palace but almost no time learning how to conquer worry and anxiety?
(I think the answer is obvious, but I'm wondering what the folks at your table would say.)
And a related question: Are men and women different on this matter?
Shabbat Shalom
...and happy Sukkot.
