Judaism is a Relationship - R. Benzion Klatzko - TorahAnytime.com

now when you love somebody you try to get things right and that's why when we do we seem very particular about it but that fits into the concept of the love language so for instance my wife says to me oh you're going to the store do you mind pick something up nice for shabas so I could pick up something nice but if I love said what in particular because you know I really would like flowers so I could pick up flowers but if I really love her what am I gonna ask her which flowers roses what color roses how many roses then I'll go try to get the freshest roses maybe the ones that are just beginning to bloom they're still a little bit Clos so over shavas we'll see them open and then I'll get baby's breath you know those little white things you like babies that's that's the love language the more you love somebody the more you want to get things right that it makes perfect sense it doesn't make sense if you don't look at Judaism as a relationship but if you do so then you say so Hashem you want me to keep shabas how would you like me to keep shabas and if I don't know exactly you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna look into your words and try to figure out well before you ask me to do it like this so it must mean this is important to you I will be able to extrapolate what it means to keep chavas as a matter of fact through the eyes is glorious I I I want to do it right and I want to do it beautiful it's not beautiful if I steal it and it's also not beautiful if I do it in a way that desecrates
