We learn from Ya'akov (Jacob), our forefather, that creating a Jewish Home is the highlight of life and not a mere sidelight. It needs preparation as well as physical & spiritual protection. I believe this is a powerful expression of the values of Jewish marriage that fly in the face of the ephemeral values of secular culture. ENJOY! Lots of love, Rabbi Garfinkel of Project 613

One of the most inspiring stories you will ever hear about the greatness of being Jewish. Thank you to Mr. Aaron Feuerstein, OBM, on your first yahrtzeit for inspiring all of us. Special shout out to Rabbi Yoel Gold whose video interview of Mr. Feuerstein before he died was truly incredible! Prepare to be inspired! Lots of love, Rabbi

The incredible "CHESED" (Loving Kindness) of Avraham & Sarah reverberate throughout 3800 years of Jewish history down to us! Kindness is a hallmark of the Jewish people, and no one exemplifies that more than the "HOSTING" of Avraham & Sarah. So, sit back, enjoy, and "BE MY GUEST!" Lots of love, Rabbi Garfinkel of Project 613 in Chicago
