Thank you, Rabbi Raskin. I listen to you often; but, this past week it seems that each and every word I heard you speak gave me corrective and inspirational direction in areas I knew needed attention and in areas to which I had not paid much attention. Thank you. (By the way, is Tuna not a good fish? I do not just slap it together. I make it very delicious; and, if it is what I will enjoy most, should I not have it? I make it appealing to the eye and I do not have to worry about bones). One last thing for today. You were the first Rabbi I ever heard suggest (now I hear you say it unambiguously) that it was possible that a person who was not a Levite might enjoy treatment as one if the person lived as one. This is intriguing. I am assuming that not everyone believes this way and I would like to hear and learn more about this. Good Shabbos!
