Emunah

Emunah told me, "I had to call my mother, Avtav. I knew she'd be so happy to know I meditated for three minutes. She was THRILLED. She kept saying how proud she was of me. My mother even said to me, 'I think that's the first time you've sat still in your life!'"

"Sitting with Emunah in meditation I could feel her exuberance re-enliven something in me — perhaps the girl who started her journey before the lessons that would polish the bumps, bruises, and heartbreak. The girl who couldn't contain her exuberance."

"The stone Buddha cracked, and the spirit that yanked me onto the path broke through. I couldn't stop laughing, and Emunah laughed so hard she had to leave the room… Joy won. My Rebbetzin did her job."
