The Jewish Woman
The Heart of a Jewish Woman

"It's crooked," I whispered, unsure of whether I was intruding on a holy moment...
Do I Have a Soulmate?
Time and again I have had my heart broken and my hopes dashed...Is there really someone out there for everyone?

A person should really know the pathways of Heaven, but actually this is not crucial. One needs only the main thing - to help another wholeheartedly, with sensitivity, to take pleasure in doing a kindness to another.


— Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch (1834-1882)
