Maybe that's because it seems too remote to me. What I posted "speaks" to me. And I think that Emes is rather important. In galus we are used to a world with so much sheker.Critiquerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788007492647988964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836379088405065709.post-80893445633324042452016-12-24T23:33:09.116-05:002016-12-24T23:33:09.116-05:00I don't mean to be offensive, at all, but cert...I don't mean to be offensive, at all, but certainly you can come up with better yearnings for the Moshiach times. E.g., wouldn't you enjoy seeing Abraham, Isaac or Jacob? Would you not wish to learn straight from the mouth of Moshiach, or Moishe Rabbeinu?

In my own life experience, there is always another side of the story and sometimes there are several complicated aspects of any conflict. When their children left Yiddishkeit, was it simply that they fell in line with what was happening in society, or did they have a bigger yetzer hara having come from such greatness, or were their parents human like everyone else and alienated their own children? Now some would say that to even question such people is kifira but there are others that say that failure to paint gedolim as human and subject to human emotions, reduces the ability of the mature reader to find the story believable and children see them as 2 dimensional and eventually they become skeptical as well. rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750230430610565818noreply@blogger.com
