- just that my life my last 15 years has been a little crazy - but good - and bad and getting better.
The Rebbe's life and ideas have had a big impact just as his passing
I wonder in summation what is left between the impact of his ideas and his death - what has that left me with?
I don't expect you to know - but it's a question i'm asking myself.
