Bardichev, my BROTHER
In your zechus, I am so HAPPY today. I felt a rush of new energy enter my body. I had a spiritual downpour of inspiration. In your zechus, my learning sky rocketed today as I fell deep into the sugya of shibud m'taltlin trying to figure out all its intricacies as understood by the rishinom and poskim. At first I could not figure out where all this energy came from and then I realized...
Now for some mussar (As I know you LOVE mussar)
We must realize that milestones in life are not the end but rather a beginning. The purpose of the milestone is to enable us properly for the future. It is a point in life where we realize that we accomplished and can continue to accomplish. During these milestones, we reflect on the past on our great accomplishment and great kochos that were revealed; BUT then look to the future for a world of eternal growth. When we realize how the first small part of the climb was so exhilarating to be a NEW person, we are invigorated for an exciting journey in the future. We look not to our future with scared eyes but rather with eyes wide open as we realize there is MORE goodies to come. Now is when life REALLY begins.
Bardichev, your avodas anivas is mechayiv you to begin your name with a lowercase b. However, my avodas anivas is mechayiv me to begin your name with an uppercase B. From the day you arrived on the scene here at GYE, our similarities were apparent and I was therefore able to get such inspiration from you. Your attitude is amazing with your simchas hachaim and amazing yearn for an eternal kesher with hashem. From the start, you were always so sincere and determined. The moment you joined our team, you had an amazing boost of energy that catapulted you into immediate recovery.
Like I have told you many times, I truly value this relationship.
From your dear and sincere friend,
Yaakov
May WE ALL continue to share with each other's simchas and continue to grow together.
May WE ALL be zoche to be the baalei teshuva who will dance at the next simchas beis hashoeva, Bimhera B'yameinu
