What value do I place on Judaism?
To be a Jew is so valuable, that it
is worth to give everything you have, away with a light heart. Its more valuable than your own life.
I think, only somebody who has been a Non Jew once, has really experienced this and knows its true.
You think about it right in the morning, when you pray: "Baruch ata Adoshem... asher b a c h a r banu mi kol ha amim" The Creator loves us Jews in a very special way. Isn't that worth everything you own?
I understand our Father Jacob, when he gave his whole money for being buried in Israel. Near Hashem.
Thanks for the Audio minute!!!
