"Don't Stop Talking!"--attributed to "That Woman" (the one who returned to thank Rabbi last week for

saving her life).

"That Woman" deserves our thanks also! Thank you! Yes, may Rabbi YY never "stop talking" about Torah

and saving lives in the process! What a poiganant and timely example: Hit by a truck. Told by the doctors

that she probably won't make it. Paralyzed on at least a couple of levels.

But. Suddenly. G-d! And Rabbi YY!

Both arrived in her home morning and night from South Africa, Australia, Israel and back to Monsey

(Rabbi YY anyway--G-d stayed with her always:) to help her "remember her song" when circumstances

so incredibly harsh tried to wrestle away all of her music. Rabbi YY created an inviting space under

the canopy of his Torah teachings feeding her (and the rest of us) like Avraham "fed" the angels in this

lesson filling her with the steady hum of the Torah's Song to bring her back to herself--a quiet place

of remembering her own song and who she was/is--"An ambassador of Love, Life, Hope and, ultimately,

Infinity!! Apparently, she also learned how to make "like a zebra" and shake off some of the trauma.

Thanks for that teaching too Rabbi YY! In addition, I bet she learned that she was "sent not sold" no

matter what life handed to her! Yet, another Stellar Teaching of Rabbi YY's worth coming to planet for!!

She caught what Rabbi taught--that she is G-d's Good Idea and the one that He Loves! Then, and, only

then, Life became worth living and fighting for because G-d has a job for her to do that only she can do!

Wow! What a Great Story! What a wonderful tie into this lesson about the importance of "entertaining"

angels even (maybe even especially) when you are having a good visit with God! Be interruptable. Be

flexible. Be surprised. Have Wonder when the phone rings, the texts dings, and the baby cries! And

remember your songs!! Rabbi YY has done it again!! Great class Rabbi YY! Thank You! And, "That

Woman" --Thank You too! Just Wonderful as Always! You may never know when you are saving a life!!

The mitzvah of escorting a guest out a distance
Is another way of saying "parting is difficult".

Same as Shemini Atzeres is between Hashem and us.
