Even if you hear it once every year, it is always new

This time it struck me, that (even in his old age) he is able to c h a n g e , to g r o w and to m o v e f o r w a r d . And in this way - I know - I would like to go on until Hashem takes my neshama home. Thank you for such wonderful and helpful words!

even in old age...

Le Rabbi Shraga Shalom!
I understand Isaak and I in his place
would have shudderet too. To be wrong over so many years without knowing it. But now, as the truth gets to him, he acts accordingly. (I see some similarities...) He changes - even in old age. - I like your Audio Minutes!
