Welcome to the World of Rabbi Riddle.

	Blessed is the One Who Blesses!
Forgive and Forget! G-d is Awesome! And Then Some!

In the Torah portion of VaYechi, Jacob blesses his 12 sons and then his two grandsons Ephraim and Menashe. When a person blesses someone, he is asking G-d to reveal that other person's potential.

• The wicked prophet Bilaam tried to curse the Jewish people, but G-d turned his words into tremendous blessings!
  

• Parents traditionally bless their children on Shabbos, holidays, and other special occasions.
  

• You don't have to be a tzaddik to give someone a blessing! You just have to give it with sincerity!
  

Rabbi Riddle's Kwazy Kwestions:
Why do people say, "Bless you!" when someone says, "Achoo!"?
Because a blessing is nothing to sneeze at!

Forgive and Forget!

G-d is Awesome! And Then Some!
