סיפורי בעל שם טוב got me talking again..

I am sorry I haven't posted for quite a while.. but the book סיפורי בעל שם טוב got me posting again. I feel that somehow it isn't right for me not to be sharing about all the wonderful experiences and lessons Hashem has sent my way.. So I resolved to post more frequently. I hope and pray to share amazing good posts often. A few days ago, I was a bit sad and quickly scanned my father's huge sefarim library .. The taste of the sweet Torah I studied at the Shabbos seudah late into motzash was still lingering in my mouth.. and I was longing for more.. I needed something to cheer me up.. The book סיפורי בעל שם טוב winked at me.. and so I took it. I'm glad I picked it. Wow! at some point I really got pulled into the stories and felt connected to the Bal Shem Tov -- as if he was teaching me personally. The stories strengthened me and encouraged me to keep on going... keep on living.. living fully and sharing my adventures..

I need some more Simchah now.. but B"H Hashem sent it --- SHABBOS is here!! The day where everything is Perfect!! I'm excited!

(so I'll get ready.. I haven't decided yet what I'm doing with the lovely scented lemon verbena - lemon challos or lemon truffles.. I'm browsing some recepies for ideas..)

and as to my resolution.. I've added retroactively some historic posts. enjoy!

Shabbat Shalom!!
