Episode 100: Love and the alphabet
Summary
There’s a Jewish parable that I love. A family goes to temple to make offerings to God by placing objects of value on the altar. However, the youngest child is distraught because he has nothing -- and so has nothing to give. So he decides to recite the alphabet, as it’s all that he knows. According to the parable, this was the offering that was prized most highly by God. In this episode, I’ll discuss why.
