"How many tears have you cried, asking Him to take your hand?"

“How many difficult moments have you faced — and then risen above them with every ounce of self-control you could muster? How many conversations have you had with dignity and respect, despite the rage and frustration? How much sweat have your poured into your marriage, your child-raising, when no one was around to applaud you or appoint you as class representative? How many tears have you cried, asking Him to take your hand?

“This is the real thing. In school and seminary, you studied Torah. Today, you are living it.”
