What happened today? And I don't know. I don't remember anything about how he responded to what I said. What I remember is asking the question and that he showed that he cared by asking me how I was doing. And that was so moving."

And at that time in class 8th, my teacher told me that you have to have a confidence in your own capabilities and only then you can become good at English and at anything. So instead of giving me false confidence or false hope, he gave me a clear path. And after following his advice, today I am able to record a podcast."

Click here to reply to @DBPardes "I'm just curious because I know this kind of book just is very cross cultural in so many ways. It's from the roots of your rabbinical studies and your experience as a woman who's Jewish. But so many of the lessons that I read in it and the messages are so universal. How has it been received by other kinds of communities and what are the efforts that you know that are have been taken and will continue to be a part of?"
