I have a problem with forwarded mushy emails that you have to scroll down pages of strangers’ email addresses to read. Seriously, I can’t handle them. Especially the ones that masquerade as Jewish.
I know that the people who forward them, and specifically, who forward them to me, have only the best intentions and most wonderful sense of spirit when doing so, and far be it from me to kill a spiritual moment, but I must set the record straight.
God is not walking through your house.
Probably nothing will happen in five minutes.
If you delete this email, nothing will happen to you.
And this is not based on kabbalah.
For good fortune, health, and the rest, whisper a prayer and try your best to put forth normal effort.
Thank you and have a nice day.
some corrections, if you please:
I, for one, try to host G-d in my house by bringing the light of Torah inside.
and lots happens in every 5 minutes around the world! not directly connected with that unfortunate e-mail, though.
thank you for speaking out!
I love this post!
I agree with rena…
Right on. I do not like threatening email forwards, but those in the guise of Judaism are beyond the pale, if you'll pardon the expression.
If God isn't walking through my house, then whose footsteps are those? Should I call the police? 😉
I have to agree with Rena. Something will probably happen in five minutes. In my home it will probably be a diaper blowout or a toddler meltdown. But that would happen whether or not I delete the email.
