RE: [TruthTalk] The Right Way To Get To The Truth

[ShieldsFamily]

On the return trip after a long night 33,000 feet in the air the Jewish men in the family across from me put on prayer shawls and phylacteries; they also wound a leather strip around the middle finger of their left hand and down their arm and came back to their seats to read the scriptures in Hebrew making different gestures all the while and at the end when they disrobed and put book and phylacteries away they kissed them over and over which I found very sad.  The husband told me about the benefits of kosher food, (which I must say it did look really good and plentiful).     Judy, Why did their devotion to the Word strike you as so sad? And what were the benefits of kosher food which the man explained to you? Isn’t “airplane” life surrealistic? I love the way you can get intimate with People quickly because everyone knows they will never see each other again. Izzy
