Sanctifying Relationships

Home » Lifecycles » Sanctifying Relationships » Page 3

Relationships bring people together in a unique connection. This is something to celebrate, whether through the public festivity of a wedding, or in the private reflection of immersion in the mikveh. Sanctifying our relationships elevates these unions and gives them a context of meaning and joy.
