(A little self control won't hurt either)YWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-89609847159245307352008-11-03T15:21:00.000-05:002008-11-03T15:21:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-52168737705477197872008-10-28T19:41:00.000-04:002008-10-28T19:41:00.000-04:00While not a member of the kehilo hakedosho, I have...While not a member of the kehilo hakedosho, I have many a fond memory of Chazan Frankel. His "Shir Hama'alos" on <I>Motzei Shabbat</I> is, of course, an enduring memory for me, as is the image of him standing regally in front of the menorah, long taper in hand, moving the <I> shamash</I> side to side as he sang out the <I>brachot</I>.<BR/><BR/>I just saw his grandson last night, and, while speaking to him, was overcome by the thought that now I have to find the words to express to others what CF represented, because I can no longer show them.<BR/><BR/>תהי נפשו צרורה בצרור החייםAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-38914013208185691492008-10-26T21:44:00.000-04:002008-10-26T21:44:00.000-04:00it's tough to tell kids they shouldn't feel that "...it's tough to tell kids they shouldn't feel that "personal responsibility" in a case like this, when they are constantly being taught how each person is important, etc. <BR/><BR/>you can explain that the tehilim she said may have made his entrance to shomayim easier, or is heard by hashem and "filed" for a refuah for other ill people.<BR/>One of my kids once came home from school with a great thought from a teacher. There is a traffic jam in Shomayim of prayers and cries- but when the tefilos of a child come up, everything moves out of the way and the children's supplications go directly to Hashem.<BR/><BR/>But of course, we also need to teach our kids that just because we ask Hashem for something doesn't mean He will give it to us, but He will do the best thing for us.daughtersintheparshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727740238002109141noreply@blogger.com
