every time i speak to someone there i silently pray for the siyata dishmaya to say the right thing whether its during an english lesson or helping a guy deal with some problems. one wrong word and he could be lost forever. my personal opinion is that what happens at our place is pikuach nefesh and therefore my words could potentially hold the power to give life or take life away. one wrong word and i could set off a chain of events that leads to an overdose chas v’shalom. its terrifying. baruch hashem ive been matzliach so far i think, but all i can do is pray as hard as possible that it continues like that.

i sometimes find myself smiling and laughing at the words that come out of my mouth because i know they arent mine and that i could never in a million years have thought of them myself. all my writing, all my teaching, every time i have any conversation in hashkafah…any time i open my mouth in any meaningful way im amazed at what comes out because i know that the words are not my own and that i can claim no credit for them.
