Why 40?

This week we talked about 40!

Fortysomething By Susan Handelman


It is forbidden to be old
-- Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav

40 years in desert, 40 days and nights on Sinai, 40 days of rain and floods...

40 years to understanding.

Why 40?

And is it still 40? or is 60 the new 40?

more details later
