Angels. Do they exist? In the Torah, there are four angels mentioned. Yes, four. Not thousands, and the angels are not babies, not cherubs, not children but also not sure of what gender. When one leaves the Synagogue after worshipping on a holy day, after Kol Nidre or Rosh Hashanah, the Rabbi tells us, we are all angels, to look for an angel in one's mirror.
To feel your arm or/and hand and its smoothness, with or without lotion applications, your arms and hands are gentle, as gentle as an angel's. Can we feel like Michael and Raphael, or to be the angel who saves the mule from a lickin'. Or to be the angels who save the life of Isaac? To come directly from the heavens blowing Shofars of warning for Abraham not to kill his son, but instead to sacrifice a ram. To be the angel who fought Jacob, and Jacob became then of the honorable name Israel.
But we are talking over thousands of years ago. Do angels still exist? If you feel rescued by a human, say at a store in a check out lane, the cashier not taking your gift card, lying and saying there is no balance on it, and then, as a miracle the person standing behind you in line is the person who gave you this gift card, and she then tells you that "The cards do not give cash, that you have to come back to the store to spend it on another day".
Angel? I definitely think so! The argument was solved, I knew I could trust her, I saw her angelic shine as she patiently kindly steered me into the right direction, to come back another day to the store to spend the remaining balance on the store gift card. Not led out of the store by security for a misinterpretation, but yet coming so close!
We all had a good laugh and my admitted ignorance was the funny bone!
