ANSWER TO LEMON LIME MOON'S MEME!

Lemon poses this:
An interesting meme I found surfing around. Makes for a good filler after a yomtov.
Here are the rules:~~~

1. Grab the book closest to you.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth full sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence to your blog.
5. Don't search around for the coolest book you have, use the one that is really next to you.

Post a comment on here that you have answered..then post your answer on your own page.

My book is When Moshiach Comes, A Halachic and Aggadic Perspective by Yehudah Chayoun.
It was nearest me as I was going through it again....so here we are at page 161:
"Yalkut Shimoni, Shir Ha Shirim 1, In those days the house of Yehuda will go to the house of Yisrael.. (Yirmeyahu 3:18)Yisrael refers to the ten tribes exiled to the Sambatyon River."

PERMALINK (put YOUR ANSWER HERE TOO!)

My answer:
I always have a few books on the go. Right now I have 3... so:

1. THE BODY NEVER LIES by Alice Miller:
Such a suggestion is sufficient to cast a [victim]t into a state of total confusion, because it is precisely this concern to see only the parents' good side that has led to the disorder in question, and the repression of feelings and perceptions."

(excellent book btw!)

2. IF I AM MISSING OR DEAD by Janine Latus
"One of my friends said it sounded like I am walking on eggshells, I say, which is stupid."

I was given this book to read by a publisher for my Domestic Violence work. It is good and very validating.

3. The Torah (need I even say more its all GOOD?)

A Day to Bare Our Souls - and Find Ourselves

Image
The lack of ritual makes Yom Kippur's power elusive for many. How do we make meaning from the holiest but most daunting day on the Jewish calendar? By Rahel Musleah My friend Anat dreads Yom Kippur. Fasting makes her grumpy, and by morning she already has a headache. Nor does the synagogue setting encourage atonement, meditation or self-reflection for her. As a nonobservant Jew, she says, "my relationship with God is such that I can't even begin to atone for what I do—nor do I want to. What's left are my relationships with other people, and I try to take care of those on a daily basis." Still, says Anat, the strong aura of the day, redolent of childhood and community, draws her to spend Yom Kippur in the synagogue. "If this is a holy day I'll treat it as such and stand with others around me. Every year I think about the millions of people who are doing exactly what I am doing on Yom Kippur. It doesn't matter how secular I am. This is my commitme

'Fat People Aren't Unstable' -- For This We Needed a Study?

Image
First let me say I don't like being fat. Yes, I diet and yes, to the degree my disability (unrelated to my weight) allows me - I do exercise. A while back someone posted really malicious things about my weight, my character and even my disability online. Even throwing in a very twisted, backward and upside-down version of what really occurred between us. To wit (edited for foul language): You used the internet to track him down after 30 years, which wasn’t too hard because he’s a published writer. You got him to agree to meet up with you. When he did meet up with you, to his horror, he saw that his ex-girlfriend from college had ballooned into a 275 lb fat pig with poor hygiene and he didn’t want to bang you. He politely excused himself by saying he couldn’t do this to his wife. You then began stalking him and his family, driving by his house, sending letters to anyone with whom you thought you could slander his good name. His poor wife was left with no choice but to report you

Miriam's Cup

Image
Several new Passover seder rituals are being adopted by Jewish familes to honor the role of Miriam, Moses's sister and the Prophetess in the Exodus, and to highlight the contributions of women to Jewish culture, both past and present. A second cup, called Miriam's Cup, is being added to the Passover dinner table along with Elijah's Cup. Miriam's Cup is filled with water and symbolizes the miracle of Miriam's well, which sustained the Israelites during their long journey in the desert.
