Adventuresome Me
- Tamar Ruth
- Who I started out as is not who I have become! I grew up in a small town, very small...and all I wanted to do was move to the city. Now as an adult that small town has grown and is overcrowded. I want what I had as a kid...small town living. We don't appreciate what we have until it is gone. I water my plants with my rain barrel water,grow veggies in the front yard and want chickens and goats in the worst way. I married my high school sweetheart and after 18 years of marriage converted to Judaism. Did I mention I have 4 kids and I homeschool? My oldest son just graduated! The purpose of this blog is to share my experiences--homeschooling, being Jewish and loving it in a not so Jewish town, gardening, animals, and alternative medicines. So, if any of these things interest you---come along for the ride!

Shema-Why is it ON our Hearts?
I am reading a book right now called Hope Will Find You, written by Naomi Levy. In it she mentions a Hasidic master named Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev. He once said, "Why are we commanded to put the words on our hearts? Shouldn't we put them in our hearts?" His reply is sometimes the heart is closed and it can't take the words in, our job is to put the words on our hearts so when the heart is ready the words will seep in.
