I came across this in my reading time today. I think you will be blessed.
There’s a lovely Hasidic story of a rabbi who always told his people that if they studied the Torah, it would put Scripture on their hearts. One of them asked, ‘Why on our hearts, and not in them?’ The rabbi answered, ‘Only God can put Scripture inside. But reading sacred text can put it on your hearts, and then when your hearts break, the holy words will fall inside.’
I’ll spare you the source so that you won’t miss or dismiss the point. Have a nice weekend everyone.

A “Hasidic rabbit”, Jerry? Not familiar with that breed. Do they wear long prayer curls? LOL. Better proof it again.
Mmmmm, I love me some Hasidic rabbit.
Is that Kosher?
Is the Torach some sort of green leafy plant?
Ha, wishful thinking! If we don’t get you for the source of your material, we will get you for typos. Flurry little animals that have the ability to talk always break my heart, eventually.
Sorry, Jerry.
The point is a good one…typos and all.
There is a lot of assuming go’n on around here… maybe this is not a typo. It could be a Hasidic story about a talking rabbit. Of course, the talking rabbit having “his people” kinda argues against this though…
Jerry,
Good parable – thanks.

Indeed, would it have been too much for one of you jokers to edit that? LOL.
I swear I checked it before I hit publish. I think the editor changes them on its own.
haha. thanks for the laugh.
i liked it better when it had a bunny.
Jerry,
I was temped to correct it… but as I said in #7, there was just enough doubt that it was a Hasidic parable about a talking rabbit.

Hasenpfeffer stew is not kosher, as it uses the blood of the rabbit as a flavoring and gelling agent.
Good stuff, pretty sour. Acquired taste, like goat.
Jerry, why’d you go and fix it? Now it just doesn’t make sense.
Good thought, goes along nicely with a post of Brant Hansen’s that I read recently (thanks to Phil)… http://www.morningswithbrant.com/index.php?option=com_blogsbrants&view=blogsbrants&bid=50&Itemid=13
