Eshet Chayil Pt 2: Introduction

The Honor that Hamelech Shlomo gave to huis mother was huge. He made sure that he stated how dedicated and loving she was and that her advice carried him through life. Wow what a blessing. But there are other ideas as to what he was talking about. Some state that is was about the Sabbath Queen. Or about the body and Soul. I prefer to believe it was about woman. Not just any woman but the woman who can embody the desire to seek holiness in her soul.
It also acknowledges his role as a son to accept his responsibility in hororing his mother. Now his mother prayed for him. Not to beome King but to become wise student. Although when you read about her she seemed to speak harsh and to the point. Sometimes soft speech is needed adn sometime words that seem harsh and to the point are needed.
But her prayers and focus were on a ture spiritual desire.This is why he became King. This is why he was chosen for the task.
Always rmembr that...Behind every successful man is an encouraging woman. The first woman that affects a mans life is his mother.Sacrifice, care and dedication became a part of his being because of his mother and it was not a walk in the park for her.
So the objective is to remember we are the ones who are creating either leaders or followers. Men or just boys. Women or just girls. CHildren need to be nurtured and cared for but do you want them to stay that way and not become independent strong people who will raise up as the next generation?

Remembering Melissa



Last night I was at a red tent meeting with sister's. I met a woman for the first time and I do not rememember her name only her pain. She lost her daughter and the hardest thing is being a mother who outlives their child. It is difficult to fathom that type of pain and how do women of Valor(Courage) endure and continue on in their life? She spoke of blame and pain. That is the topic of my blog today. How can a person be so cruel to judge another person about their motherhood in such a tragic time. I just wanted to let her know that there is love and support from the sisters at the red tent. Most of All I want to dedicate this post to Melissa. You will not be forgotten.


Dear Melissa,

I never met you and so sorry that a light of a beautiful woman is gone. But I know that you are loved by many and many mourned you last night. Last night you were remember with tears, hugs, comfort and love. The Love your mother brought to our circle is beautiful because of the love she ahs for you. May your journey continue and now be with peace. Nachamu

Love, Leah Binah
