What if your tears on Yom Kippur are more powerful than you think? Why do we cry when we daven? Why are the gates of tears never closed? And what does Hashem do with the tears we shed?

A powerful story about letting go, overlooking the little things, and the secret of ma'avir al middosav.

What if every moment of life carries a hidden sword? This week's parsha reveals a startling Midrash: when the Luchos descended from Shamayim, they came bundled together with a sword.  Why would the Torah of life arrive alongside a symbol of death?
