JUST VISITING

In October of 1996, the spiritual leader of San Diego's Elijah Minyan, Rabbi Wayne Dosick, and his wife Ellen, lost their Carlsbad, CA home to fire. During the healing process, he wrote the book, WHEN LIFE HURTS. A story he tells in the book happened in the last century when an American tourist visited the famous Polish Rabbi, Chofetz Chaim:

The tourist was amazed to see that the rabbi's home was only a simple room filled with books. The only furniture was a narrow bed, a small table, and one straight-backed chair.
"Rabbi, where is your furniture?" asked the tourist.
The Chofetz Chaim looked at him and asked, "Where is yours?"
"Mine? But I am only a visitor here."
Said the rabbi, "So am I."

Rabbi Wayne -- thank you for this beautiful book and for your words of healing and growth. Your wisdom is a blessing to our San Diego and Jewish communities.

(By the way, Rabbi Wayne is available to speak or lead at group functions or retreats --business, community and /or religious. The book above is published by Harper San Francisco and can easily be found online.)
