Wow. That was truly thought-provoking. Reply
I feel so inspired after listening to this beautifully crafted prose that encapsulates an aspect of what it means to be Jewish. Amazing! Reply
Thank you, you have answered prayer. I had been questioning so many responsibilities for my mother who is 96 and sadly has not been a nice person. As a former Christian converting to Judism I have so many questions but as We read the Torah each Shabbat answers come and it is such a Blessing. I truly loved this message. Reply
I'm feeling much more powerfully than I can put to words after listening. Thank you deeply. You can't imagine how much I felt your words falling directly onto my wife and my self, this very week especially. You've expressed something so profound that we have been living and it's a relief to hear the words we haven't been able to find. (Reading this week about the stones of remembrance on his shoulders, it made me wonder if that was the origin point of the practice of placing stones on gravestones? Reply
Thank you Ben for sharing your response to this episode. I'm so glad that it was meaningful to you. I don't think the stones of remembrance are related to the practice you mention, but I will look into that. Shabbat Shalom! Reply

Great message! “Travel light, but with substantive heaviness” is my takeaway meaning. Thank you, Baila. Reply
B”H, very meaningful! Thank you again, Baila! I like the sound of your name and wonder what your name means or where it comes from. Reply
Thank you Christina--Great question. It's a Yiddish name, but I believe it is derived from the biblical Bilha, although I can't say for sure. Reply
what was your source for this carrying of the stones - is it from the Rebbe or other sources
