Rabanim and Rabbani and Mariah, the Raba Say.

The Gora says,

Tama'amari, by Brei of Huna,

Brayder of Yirmia, Ba'aba.

I'll you parta Oda Odome Havero

Elamitouhahalouche When one comes to take leave

of a friend

One should do so only in the midst

of a dival halach

By communicating to that friend

A word of halacha

Shemitok kachach

Because through that halacha,

which you have given the other person,

he will always remember you.

Rabi Yer Mabba was saying a remarkable thing.

Our lives are made up,

are constructed out of relationships.

We live amongst friends and colleagues and above all amongst teachers.

But every human relationship is fragile.

People part, they move on, we separate. How then do we construct permanence out of these relationships?

The answer, of course, is through memory.
