I received your video from a friend today, and it was with "HaShem's Perfect Timing"... I had the most upsetting day today. I've worked in the same company for 8 years. I am not Jewish, but I celebrate all of HaShem’s days and no longer the Christian ones. Work decided for the 1st time to put up an artifical tree today and I have the only office that faces where it is going. I went home and was so upset at the thought of how to handle this. Thank you for this message! I'm going in work tomorrow with Chanukah items and I will proudly display them! :) May others find courage also, as I have found in your message. Thank you so VERY much! B'H

Chana, excellent reminder and more than that, exactly what is so needed these days on so many different levels and aspects in our daily routine lives. I believe that I was meant to read this for reasons I shall not get into here. However, if it is the will of HaShem that our paths cross (in person) I will tell you just how much your message meant to me. Thanks for the impact !!! You just saved a Jew.

Wow. I never would have noticed that. I was thinking about my political opinion being swayed when I watched this. I had very sure sense of my candidate until sitting in a circle at kiddush and being baraged with the other's opinions. While I was there, I actually caved and changed my opinion. However, by the time I got home and had time to think, I returned to my original convictions. So the study may have shown that people in that room "changed" their opinions at that moment, but they could have returned to their original thoughts when they left. Maybe we are developed this way in order to reduce conflict with our fellow man/woman. I would be interested in knowing if the study did a follow up after they left the pressure of the group.
