[HANASHIR:15401] Re: Psalm 122 in Hebrew

[Julie Lockman <jules10...>]

Lori,

First of all let me say how sorry I am about your losing your husband, like
someone else on the list said, it¹s a terrible tragedy at any time.  I
commend you on all your hard work and dedication, look at all the things you
listed that you¹ve taught yourself.  You should be very proud of yourself.
I¹m so sorry that you got that response, don¹t let it belittle you or all
the hard work you¹ve done.  You¹ve accomplished a lot and no one has the
right to make you think anything less than that!  Most of the emails I¹ve
read on this list are supportive, helpful and warm,  people really do want
to help.  I just felt so strongly about what I read that I had to write to
you and tell you how I felt.

Shana Tova,
Julie
