A true friend and confidante to thousands of people who turn to him weekly for guidance and wisdom; Rabbi Yossi is renowned...
The Other F-Word

Dance for Menopause
Dance for Menopause By all accounts,it appears bleak.Part of me is taken away;part of me is no more.Yet I do not weep.I laugh,for You have made me a girl again,long-limbed and unconfined,my body made for dancing, swimming, double-handsprings, maybe.
