This hits home in so many ways. Rabbi Hillel was a very wise man as you are for sharing your thoughts on this. This offering of perspective is very helpful. Thank you, Rabbi Jonathan

The older I get the more "guidance" I need. Thankfully Judaism gives us wisdom from some wonderful teachers. Paradox for me seems to be entering the crevices of my soul - reminding me of exactly what you so eloquently wrote. To stand with my heart open to the duality that is found in "Oneness" seems to be a daily practice. Thanks once again for your beautiful teaching.
