One of the beautiful times in the week is Friday night, when I pray and celebrate Shabbat day with my family, my wife and my two little children. For me asa  Biblical Hebrew teacher this is the time to enjoy one of the most beautiful songs that is written in the Old Testament- Proverbs 31.

“אֵשֶׁת חַיִל מִי יִמְצָא וְרָחֹק מִפְּנִינִים מִכְרָהּ׃
בָּטַח בָּהּ לֵב בַּעְלָהּ וְשָׁלָל לֹא יֶחְסָר׃
גְּמָלַתְהוּ טוֹב וְלֹא רָע כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיהָ׃
דָּרְשָׁה צֶמֶר וּפִשְׁתִּים וַתַּעַשׂ בְּחֵפֶץ כַּפֶּיהָ”

“An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. She looks for wool and flax and works with her hands in delight.” (Proverbs 31:10-13)

The answer for the first part of the first verse should be said loud and clear: every one can find his wife, his second half, the one who completes him or her to one, and for me it does not matter what kind of relationship there is.

Not jewelry or other material things can define this happiness when the second part of you is being found.

This post is dedicated to my wife, my fitting helper, have a good Shabbat, Eli
