Five Years Ago In August

Fate called me back to this poem about faith. It's been said that as there's a mitzvah to believe in G-d, there's also a mitzvah to believe in yourself.

And then I "chanced" upon this post about a movie I saw called King of the Corner.

Recently, the thought passed through my head that if I wanted a lot more hits I could change the name of my blog to Renegade Rebbetzin.

And from around the same time as the above posts, one that evokes an era that quickly became old, replaced by tweets and texts, the era of the bloggers. Nineteen comments. But is that what I want. In truth, I think not.

Hi Rebbi,
the comment that "It's been said that as there's a mitzvah to believe in G-d, there's also a mitzvah to believe in yourself." is R Tzadok in Tzidkas HaTzaddik 154. He says, (my translation) " just like one must beleive in HKBH so too afterwards- he must believe in himself-- that HKBH deals with him... and that his nefesh is from the mekor chayim and that HKBH gets pleasure from him and "plays with him" when he does His will."
Thanks for reminding me of this point- I forgot it- and the chizuk helps.
