How to bring down spiritualty and five sets of solid gold teeth ....

.On Friday, I and three friends toured a large commercial property in downtown San Diego for investment purposes.

The property was only 25 years old, but it was built at a
pre-computer time. The structure was solid and the tour of a 10 story building
(3 floors of underground garages) was extremely interesting, but the real estate market has changed so much, there is no idea if any one would rent the property and it sits like a giant statute of a different time and place.

On Saturday, I went to temple, and learned that the same bible that I study each week

is fresh and every changing. Although I am very Jewish, not all of my readers are of course,

and I try to write my message in a non-denominational spiritual message for all people.

Although the bible teaches that the Jews are the chosen people, what they are chosen

for is to try to bring spirituality into the world.

This is not a an easy job, as the world looks like a very unspiritiual place, until you feel

the presence of spirituality in this world.

I have studied spiritually and kindness since I was a child. I was raised on the bible, but

I did not discover its power, until I went to Israel and studied it in the original Hebrew and learned the thousands of explanations that great minds have written in the 3500 years since G-d made his presence known to an entire generation of people.

Each year in the bible we read the same stories, but in the process of growth and getting

older, its depth and richness is discovered each year anew.

While the building I saw, is outdated, in today's world, the lessons I learn from the bible

are constantly fresh and inspirational.

The difficulty I have in relating the points from the bible, is that in order to understand the

point made, one must understand the context of the biblical story, and an understanding

of the entire bible, in order to appreciate its nuances. This is of course, next to impossible in the

few lines I have to make a point to you.

Since it is my function in life, however, I will attempt to do bring down some spirituality over the next week in a series of important inspirational pieces.

Many years ago, I discovered that my function in life was to "bring the truth home

and be happy". I hope that my pieces will accomplish that goal for you and me.

Morris Rabinowitz in 1936 fled his

native Germany.

He sold his assets and made five sets of solid gold

teeth with his cash, above the limit he could bring

into the U.S.

When he arrived in New York the customs

official was perplexed as to why anybody would have five

sets of gold teeth. So Morris explained:

"Jews who keep kosher have two separate sets of

dishes for meat products and dairy products but I am so

religious I also have separate sets of teeth."

The customs official shook his head and said, "Well

that accounts for two sets of teeth. What about the other

three?"

"Very religious Jews use separate dishes for

Passover, but I am so orthodox I have separate teeth

for Passover meat and for Passover dairy food.

The customs official shook his head and said, "You

must be a man of very strong faith to have

separate teeth for meat and dairy products and

likewise for Passover. That accounts for four sets of

teeth. What about the fifth set?"

Morris looked around and spoke softly. "To tell

you the truth," he said, "once in a while I like a

ham sandwich."
