“Now I have been embraced by brothers I did not know I had and am spending time defending a country I didn’t know was mine.”
When I speak about only-at-Aish moments, it is one just like this. While we all may differ on our politics or opinions we can never forget that we all pray to the same G-d.

As I mentioned one of the true thrills for me is to get to know the members of our movement wherever I travel.
In general I don’t discuss my personal life. Not on social media or here. I want to make an exception in the case of sharing with you my journey through the kaddish prayer.
