Heart of the Home Dining

Like to know the single thing that other young people want from you? It is a listening ear. Not many people have one. It is natural for us to be focused on ourselves, not on the people we are with. But if you have met someone you like at, say, a jewish dating site, or a Jewish community function, then you can almost guarantee that the thing they will want most when they are in your company is someone who is listening to them. Not just not talking. But really listening. Because all of us have a story, and we all want to tell it. The interests we have and the things we have done combine into the story of our life. Actually, it is all we have. This story is the only thing we will still have as lie on our deathbed, preparing to leave life. It’s important. so listen to the people you meet in your Jewish online community. Hear what they are saying, at the back of their words. Think about what you’re hearing, and find the things you both share in common. Relationships come from this listening and the discovering of things you hold in common.
