Humility, Diversity, and Unity Shalom Rabbi Raskin:

A well taught lesson on the customs of the Sukkot, and the fruits. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this subject. I really enjoy learning about the customs and their meanings of the Jewish faith. But most of all I am very touched at the way you are always aware of the presence of G-d.

May the presence of God fill you with all joy and good health. Reply
