Surviving Marriage Meshugas

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called “Surviving Marriage Meshugas.”

At the end of the day, like all things, marriage is partially what you make of it and how hard you work at it. Remember, bringing two people together, even two halves of the same whole, can be challenging and requires understanding and compromise.

Beautiful Bonsai Tree

Something genius about a Bonsai tree.

The way it is on one hand natural and on the other hand “sculpted” by people. 

Sort of a metaphor for life, where G-d gives us the raw material and asks us to go do good with it. 

G-d creates and people shape that creation. 

Beautiful partnership makes a beautiful Bonsai! 😉

Children (and Fruit) of G-d

Interesting quote I heard on diversity:

It might be apples and oranges, but it’s all fruit!

The way towards mutual respect, teamwork, brotherhood, and peace:

– Recognize that our similarities are much greater than our differences. 

And ultimately, we are all children (and fruit) of G-d. 😉
