Do not walk this path alone



קה  נֵר לְרַגְלִי דְבָרֶךָ   וְאוֹר לִנְתִיבָתִי105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path
Psalm 119


Loneliness is one of the most difficult experiences. It is probably one of the links between depression and anxiety. Many people have experienced the pain of loneliness even in places sorrounded by many others.
One of many ways to overcome loneliness is by looking for the other. In times when health emergencies do not allow us to experience the company of friends and relatives, this age of advanced communication devices can allow us to keep in contact with others. Perhaps there is someone in your family or among your friends or a neighbour across the street who will gladly hear from you today.
Our sacred books are a very important companion for the way. Someone wrote that everyone should make a book his/her friend. The Torah, the Divine Instruction, is our best companion in this journey of faith and doubts. It is a light as we walk through darkness. It is a source of hope. It's message is life.

י  כִּי עִמְּךָ מְקוֹר חַיִּים    בְּאוֹרְךָ נִרְאֶה-אוֹר10 Because with you (LORD) is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
Psalm 36
