Attending this Shabbaton was an extraordinary experience. I certainly received much more than I gave. Each day I react negatively to life’s challenges. Deafblind sanctify the heavens. They show how the power of the soul can overcome so many physical barriers. Even just by touch or smell they connect with life. You have to see it to believe it. I saw it, and my life is enriched as a result.
