I was especially struck by this part. She sounds amazing, I wish I could've met her.

Quote:
More than anything, she emphasized the importance of havdala--distinction. "Im ein da'as, havdalah minayin?" The purpose of the human intellect is to allow us to make distinctions.

So your school books are not your "school books" (let alone your "stuff"), because a Chumash and a biology textbook don't get lumped together.

A "weekend" is not a "weekend", because Shabbos kodesh and Sunday don't get lumped together.


I read these recollections and they really struck a chord. I can picture Reb David a”h saying all of these things.

I credit her with shaping my world view, and it’s been about 15 years since I heard her speak.

I’m so glad my youngest daughter was privileged to learn from Reb. David last year in BJJ. (She plans to get up at 4:00 am to listen to the levaya.)

Yehi zichrah baruch!

Thank you for posting this link.
I remember the author well, and her "Press" conferences.
This is flooding me with memories.
