SHANAH TOVA! A friend of mine, Dew of Hermon, ie Gerry O Shea, aleertd me to your blog and may I say my brief encounter has been delightful. Although I am not Jewish I wish I had been so blessed, although truthfully I would prefer to avoid the suffering that Jewish people experienced throughout history. The video by the Rabbi was a work of art in that it spoke to the heart as well as the mind. I pray that I may truly repent and praise the Lord. Yours sincerely, Tony Ryan.
