Something to Ponder

Do you view the Torah as a weight?

Do you view the laws of this country as a weight? After all there are so many laws that there are such things as legal libraries to house them....but no one feels "weighed" down by them....we say home of the free ....

I know freedom in Torah

John 8:32 -- "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

Hello,

I am enjoying your blog-I found you through you rposts this week at theeducationallife.com
Somewhere on your website I saw soemthign about celebrating HavDalah-may I ask what that is?
We named our 2nd daughter Havilah,and we got the name from one of our favorites-'Fiddler On The Roof!Also,you probably know that the land of Havilah,where there is much fine gold(or was;)was outside the garden of Eden.
Anyways,we love the name and I was just curious what that celebration was.
Thankyou
