I was learning in Ateret Kohanim, across the road from R' Nachman's shul (Young Israel of the Moslem Quarter) while he was working on Mei Menuchos for Ayzehu Mekoman. We were learning it at that time and he gave me a copy of the galleys, knowing I was an Avrech. Maybe it was because it was Zvachim, which is kinda non-standard.Litvshehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298062565136162359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1146186360542112252006-04-28T04:06:00.000+03:002006-04-28T04:06:00.000+03:00What about the milk in the chicken?What about the milk in the chicken?...

But its up to you (children) to bring Mashiach here faster, through your tefillot and your good deeds.</B><BR/><BR/><I>Why are their 7 boys in my family, and no girls?</I><BR/><BR/><B>HaRav Shapia broadly smiled to this question...need to remember what he answered.</B><BR/><BR/><I>Did you ever meet Rav Kook? What was he like?</I><BR/><BR/><B>HaRav Shapira turned very thoughtful at this question...he answered that yes, he had met Rav Kook, and knew him. Rav Kook was a "דמות שכולו קדושה" -- a person whose entire essence was holiness. Just by looking at Rav Kook you saw holiness.</B><BR/><BR/><I>Can you give us a bracha?></I><BR/><BR/><B>Yes, I can give you a bracha, that we should all be zocheh (merit) the coming of Mashiach speedily in our days. And a bracha for each and everyone one of you for health and success -- yet I need your brachot just as much as you need mine. So I will give you brachot, please children, also have me in mind when you daven as well.</B>Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1146126743525309002006-04-27T11:32:00.000+03:002006-04-27T11:32:00.000+03:00How beautiful.
