I cried
Thank you Lori, The massage clicked!! I loved Rab. Weinberg from the moment I started learning 48 ways many moons ago.. He opened up a new universe for me that I didn't know existed and when I think about it , always wonder, How did we live life before!!?? He's voice echoes in my ear every time I read Pirke Avot. I heard you many times but this was truly from heart to heart and how truly blessed you are that you heard it personally that he loved you! You should merit many mitzvot

Hitting the target
Maybe if I repeat these powerful words of Rabbi Weinberg ' God loves you most of all' they will become part of my own vocabulary.
