Mrs. Shira Smiles
|
| On Pesach night we were inspired by G-d’s revelation of the Torah. By counting upward, as we work on ourselves, we ascend in greatness. We have the opportunity over the next 49 days to return to the level of matan Torah. Each person should determine where they need improvement in their service of G-d (Avodat Hashem) and spend each day developing and growing closer to Him. |
