My Christmas Book


The Woman, the Rabbi and the Priest.
I think 1/4 of it is in Latin and another 1/4 in Hebrew but I love how the translations are inserted on the dialogues. I love the book. I've always wanted to be a priest. I see myself in Deborah, she's so eager to learn..hungry for wisdom. I think Orthodox Jews are amazing.. amazing how they last the times. Their traditions are pretty stifling and unconventional even in death but the purpose is the same: modesty, cleansing and love.

The Good Samaritan is one of my favorite biblical stories. What I like about is that the Samaritan just extended his help to the Gentile and went about his own business. He didn't preach nor even befriend the other guy. He knows his place. With all the religions we come across, I think it's best if we help each other as much as we can with respect of each other's preferences then move on.
