The day I was born

Research will not bring up this fact.  There are 39 books in the bible, with Christians adding another 27 in theirs.  Only one does not mention God.  Seems that there is another lesson about de[pendence in this book.  The book is charming, with lots of things left unsaid between the lines.  Ruth, another megillah. i.e., book written on one complete scroll (hence the Yiddish/English phrase "The whole megillah) is another favorite, as its literary style is wonderful.

Rabbi Cook, your name lives in your lessons which are retained.
