 Powerful Prayers

the warriors of light do not rely on strength alone. They make use of their opponent's energy too.

You cannot see love either but you know you are capable in falling in love with a women and entrusting your life  to her. Is it not clear then that there are certain things we trust even we cannot see them? " the rabbi asked
