The purpose of this email is to add somethin' to the Shabbat table... Please share...
Today: a grandfather story and a Kirk Douglas story, sandwiched between two questions for your table.
Question: How would you complete the following sentence?
"If you ain't got _________, then you ain't got nothin'."
I first heard (a version of ) that phrase from my grandfather of blessed memory.
He told me, "Take care of your health. Because if you don't have your health, you don't have nothin'."
A few years later, I saw a video of the actor Kirk Douglas (né Issur Danielovitch), who was just a few years younger than my grandfather.
Douglas started reconnecting with his Torah heritage after surviving a helicopter crash in 1991.
In the video, he said, "Learn Torah! Because if you ain't got Torah, you ain't got nothin'."
2nd question for the table: Why do so many people wait until they get sick or near-death to start taking care of their health or their spirit?
Shabbat Shalom
